The history command (Journaling)

---

Since version 1.9, it is possible to use history/jounaling within grads. The best to see how it works is by examples:

ga-> history myhis.txt	to save the commands in "myhis.txt" as typed, i.e., no extra quotes
ga-> history myhis.gs	to save the commands in "myhis.gs" with single quotes
ga-> history	displays the current history with command numbers
ga-> history 21 37	displays command commands 21 to 37
ga-> history 21 37 myfile.gs	saves commands 21 to 37 to "myfile.gs"
ga-> repeat 17	re-execute command 17
ga-> repeat 21 37	re-executes most (*) commands 21 through 37, i.e., skipping "History" and "repeat" comands to avoid an infinite command execution loop.
ga-> print myplot.eps"	to write an eps file myplot.eps, the current history will be saved as comment in the EPS output, to help you figure out how you produce a particular plot

Valid shortcuts are "his" for "history" and "r" for "repeat"
