For example, if you
typed Dir *.BAK as the previous command, executed it, and then typed Dir at the command
line, pressing F1 would type a space. Pressing F1 again would type the asterisk (*) and so on. Using
the same example, pressing F2 and then the letter A would display Dir *.BA at the command
prompt. Using the combination of the template and function keys helps you reduce the number
of keystrokes you make to type a command.
F2 Searches forward in the previous command for the next key you type after pressing F2.

F3 Copies the remainder of the previous command to the command line.
F4 Deletes characters from the current cursor position up to a character you specify. For example,
if the command line currently displays Dir *.BAK and the cursor is blinking under the asterisk
(*), pressing F4 and the letter B would change the command prompt to read Dir BAK.
F5 Copies the previous command into the current command line.
F6 Places an end-of-file character (Ctrl+Z) at the current cursor position. You typically use this
feature when using the console to create a file.
F7 Displays all of the commands stored in the command history in a dialog box.
