> From the "HELP" help:

RECALL_COMMANDS
Set this keyword to display the saved commands in the command input
buffer. By default, IDL saves the last 20 lines of input in a buffer
from which they can be recalled for command line editing. Arguments to
HELP are ignored when RECALL is specified.
The number of lines saved can be changed by assigning the desired
number of lines to the IDL_RBUF_SIZE preference. For more information,
see IDL_RBUF_SIZE.
