thanks for posting back your solution.

perhaps someone can enlighten me... I see that the default value for this sysvar is 15, yet there are only 8 toggles listed in help. what do the other numbers do? if anything?

Hi

INPUTHISTORYMODE System Variable

Type: Bitcode
Saved in: Registry
Initial value: 15

Controls the content and location of the display of a history of user input.

The setting is stored as a bitcode using the sum of the following values:

0 No history of recent input is displayed.

1 History of recent input is displayed at the command line or in a dynamic
prompt tooltip with access through Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys.

2 History of recent input for the current command is displayed in the
shortcut menu.

4 History of recent input for all commands in the current session is
displayed in the shortcut menu.

8 Markers for recent input of point locations are displayed in the drawing.

0, 1, 2, 4 & 8 are Bitcode values, therefore Initial Value: 15 is the total sum of all the Bitcodes ie

1 + 2 + 4 + 8 = 15

Meaning when InputHistoryMode is set to 15 all options are active.

InputHistoryMode could be set to 3 ( 1 + 2 ) OR 5 ( 1 + 5 ) OR 7 ( 1 + 2 + 4 ) OR etc.

Have a good one, Mike

FWIW, OSMODE is similar to this; ya add up the ones you want, and that is the value you enter
