hmmm.. what is the use of the 'list' command then ? I mean, you should be able to issue a list command to see the last XX commands in the history buffer.

I know editing is hopless in sql*plus - however I will not make OS files for every little command I am writing. I would like to be able to select fx. the third last command and re-run it.. it should be possible..

Alan Mills tried to tell us something, and all I got was:
