retrieve last line command from ISPF DSLIST

Sometimes I issue a long TSO command as a line command on ISPF DSLIST. And then I would like to issue a variation of the command. I would like to issue a line command to retrieve, but not execute the previous line command. As a retrieve line command, I propose that a question mark ('?') be used.

    This item is unlikely to be given high enough priority to be placed into product plan.

    If line command: ? LIST
    is issued, I would like a popup panel that contains a history of line commands.

    Using "? LIST" is consistent with SWAP LIST primary command.
    or maybe use ?P to be consistent with the RETP primary command.

    The normal ISPF Edit command line allows preceding a command with '&' (ampersand) and that has the effect that the command stays on the command-line after execution, so to be (semi-) consistent, it might be an option to change processing of 3.4 line-commands to also allow the '&' character as an indication that the command should be re-displayed.

    For what it's worth, commands can already be retrieved by typing an '=' (equals sign) in the 3.4 line-command area and follow that by a page-up or page-down command.
