CTRL/R takes you back to the previous command. If you enter a partial command before CTRL/R it will take you back to the last command beginning withe the partial command.

Faq 8.8 may help, but I don't guarantee it. """ 8.8. Import of _tkinter fails on Windows 95/98 Sometimes, the import of _tkinter fails on Windows 95 or 98, complaining with a message like the following: ImportError: DLL load failed: One of the library files needed to run this application cannot be found. It could be that you haven't installed Tcl/Tk, but if you did install Tcl/Tk, and the Wish application works correctly, the problem may be that its installer didn't manage to edit the autoexec.bat file correctly. It tries to add a statement that changes the PATH environment variable to include the Tcl/Tk 'bin' subdirectory, but sometimes this edit doesn't quite work. Opening it with notepad usually reveals what the problem is. (One additional hint, noted by David Szafranski: you can't use long filenames here; e.g. use C:\PROGRA~1\Tcl\bin instead of C:\Program Files\Tcl\bin.) """ regards Steve
