If you type 'exit' at the prompt it will be there next time. If you hit the X it won't.
If you want to save it as a command you could create it as a script and then open Term and type ./myscript
To be further helpful if you need it:
type out the command with "echo " in front. Eg,
echo /the/full/command/typed here >psx4m.script
Then type chmod +x psx4m.script
So you can open a terminal and type ./psx4m.script

If you type 'history' (without the quotes) in your x-term, it'll pop up a list of the last 500 commands you've attempted to execute. Each one is numbered.
Say you scroll back in the list a bit and you see psx4m is number 437, in your x-term simply type:
!437 (and hit enter)
It'll run that command.
You can also create aliases in your shell config file - for bash it's .bashrc (if you are root), for the 'user' account I believe you can use .profile - though don't quote me on that : )

Command history is stored in .ash_history file.
To get command history, You can press Alt + up/down arrow to get the last command, but it has a limit of storing only last 15 commands. This has already been filed a bug for this.

The default n900 shell only saves a few commands, and the history command is not a part of the default shell.

Once ive run a command in xterm it sometimes remembers previous commands and when i open xterm and keep pressing the up key it shows a few previous commands.What can i type so it remembers a specific command when i open xterm?
e.g im running psx4m but it doesnt seem to keep that specific command in memory after running psx4m and closing xterm.
Any help appreciated
