In root, every time you enter a command it is put into some sort of log, and then can be seen (and used again) by pressing the up arrow. However, if you run more than one instance of root, all of the commands are stuffed in the same log. For example, when I run an interactive root session in one window, and a script in another, the text of the script gets inserted in between the commands of the interactive session. This use of a single log prevents the user from taking full advantage of the log in more than one session at a time. I think that it woud make root much more convenient if a modification that either uses separate logs for each session, or somehow suppresses the isertion of script code into the single log was made.
