HA! Even I was able to figure it out

I installed a sudoroot app that allowed me to open a shell in which, I assume, I am temporarily granted root priviledges.
In that shell I apt-get installed the missing dependencies and after that...I was able to install the deb.

I'm rather proud of myself seeing as I have ZERO Linux knowledge

Maybe I can upgrade my rating below to..hmm.. 4/100 soon?

QUESTION: Is there a way to, in the X terminal, to bring up the latest executed command to the prompt again? I find that I re-typed a lot and it would be great to sometimes bring up the last command (a la F3) and just modify and execute..if possible.
