Description

Most OSGi containers when run on the standard Windows XP console, have a command history, so that you can enter old commands easily by just hitting the 'up' key on the console and then pressing enter when you've got the one you need.
This can be esp. handy when running long command lines over and over, e.g.
install file:/Z:/samples/service-grid-test-deployables/spring-osgi-bundle/target/it-repo-samples-spring-osgi-bundle-2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

I think this command history is a standard feature of the windows shell, that OSGi containers like Felix and Equinox (and other Java programs) simply work with.
However, the SMX4 GShell somehow managed to switch off this feature. So no command history in SMX4 Kernel. I have to type repeated commands in by hand over and over again - quite annoying when you use SMX4 a lot
