In IDL, you can set !EDIT_INPUT=<n> to get <n> lines in command history.

I believe the limit of 20 commands for recall is hard-coded into the
PV-WAVE kernal. Unfortunately, there is no way to change that value
other than modifying the PV-WAVE source code and rebuilding the product.
On your behalf, I will request that we increase the 20-command limit, and,
perhaps better yet, make it so that you can set a system variable to
the number of history commands you wish to store. If PVI Engineering
should decide to implement this fix, it would be in a future version.
You can "sneak" more than one command into a command line by using
the & delimiter to separate them before hitting the carriage return.

I hope this helps!

Mike
