Scroll back to the top of the screen. Here are some control but-
tons to explore, as you see in Figure 1.21. The History button is
similar to the SQL History icon in SQL*Plus Worksheet. It lists
previous SQL commands and loads them back into the Work
Screen. The Preferences button displays a selection of settings
especially for the browser window, such as the width of the out-
put area and whether to place the results in the same browser win-
dow (the default) or in a new browser window. In addition, the
Preferences screen sets SQL*Plus environmental variables (com-
mon to all versions of SQL*Plus), such as LINESIZE, ECHO,
and HEADINGS. Learn more about these settings in Chapter 8.
6.
Click on the Help icon in the top right corner of the window.
This brings up a directory of links to commands especially for
iSQL*Plus (in the first column), and links to SQL*Plus com-
mands that are used for all the versions of SQL*Plus in the sec-
ond and third columns. Use this if you are not sure how to do
SQL*Plus tasks such as setting the number of lines per page on a
report, automatically displaying (or suppressing) the SQL com-
mand before running the command, and so on.
7.
Exit this window by clicking the X in the top right corner. The
main iSQL*Plus window is still open.
