    Default simple java console program, need help recalling commands

    i wanna do this

    http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sourc...yYKNmQ&cad=rja

    but on windows and in this java program

     
     
    //page 359 # 7 / lab 2
    //a "shell" that uses Circle.class
     
    import java.util.Scanner;
     
    public class circle_main
    {
     
    	public static void main(String[] args)
    	{
    		boolean rerun = true;
    		//char rerunc;//rerun as a char
     
    		Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);//declairing scanner class
     
    		String input = "";
    		String prompt = "Prompt";
    		Circle circle1 = new Circle(0);
     
    		System.out.print("Circle calculator v.90"  + "\n\n\n" + "use \"help\" for help" + "\n\n");
     
    		while(rerun)
    		{	
     
    			System.out.print(prompt + ": ");
    			input = keyboard.nextLine();//eats ur input
    			//System.out.print(input.substring(0,input.length()) + "\n");
    			//System.out.print(input.length() + "\n");
     
    			if(input.matches("(?i)help.*") == true)
    			{
    				System.out.print("\ncommands are:\nprompt <string>\nsetRadius <double>\ngetRadius\ngetArea\ngetDiameter\ngetCircumference\nexit\n\n");
    			}
     
    			else if(input.matches("(?i)prompt.*") == true)
    			{
    				prompt = input.substring(7,input.length());
    			}
     
    			else if(input.matches("(?i)setradius.*") == true)	
    			{
    				circle1.setRadius(Double.parseDouble(input.substring(10,input.length())));			
    			}
     
    			else if (input.matches("(?i)getradius.*") == true)
    			{
    				System.out.print("The radius is: " + circle1.getRadius() + "\n");
    			}
     
    			else if (input.matches("(?i)getarea.*") == true)
    			{
    				System.out.print("The area is: " + circle1.getArea() + "\n");
    			}
     
    			else if (input.matches("(?i)getdiameter.*") == true)
    			{
    				System.out.print("The diameter is: " + circle1.getDiameter() + "\n");
    			}
     
    			else if (input.matches("(?i)getcircumference.*") == true)
    			{
    				System.out.print("The circumference is: " + circle1.getCircumference() + "\n");
    			}
     
    			else if (input.matches("(?i)exit.*") == true)
    			{
    				rerun = false;
    			}
     
    			else
    			{
    				System.out.print("error, invalid command." + "\n");
    			}	
     
     
     
    		//System.out.print("\n" + "The area is: " + circle1.getArea() + "\n");//putput from circle
    		//System.out.print("The diameter is: " + circle1.getDiameter() + "\n");
    		//System.out.print("The circumference is: " + circle1.getCircumference() + "\n\n\n");
     
    		//System.out.print("Would you like to rerun the program? (Y/N): ");//rerun?
    		//rerunc = keyboard.next().charAt(0);//next char becomes rerunc
     
    		//if (rerunc == 'y' || rerunc == 'Y')//if yes
    		//{
    			//rerun = true;
    			//System.out.print("\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n");
    		//}
     
    		//else//if n e thing besides 'y' || 'Y'
    		//{
    			//rerun = false;
    		//}
     
     
    		}	
    	}
    }

    and this class

     
    //page 359 # 7
    //a class storing gets sets and calculations for circle.java
     
    public class Circle 
     
    {
     
    			private double radius;
     
     
    			public Circle()//no arg const
    			{
    				radius = 0.0;
    			}
     
    			public Circle(double radiusMain)//radius const
    			{
    				radius = radiusMain;
    			}
     
     
     
    			public void setRadius(double radiusMain)//didnt know a better way to do this
    			{										//since i didnt use a radius variable in main
    				radius = radiusMain;
    			}
     
    			public double getRadius()//returns radius
    			{
    				return radius;
    			}
     
    			public double getArea()//returns area
    			{
    				return Math.PI * (radius * radius);
    			}
     
    			public double getDiameter()//returns diam
    			{
    				return radius * 2;
    			}
     
    			public double getCircumference()//returns circum
    			{
    				return Math.PI * (radius * 2);
    			}
     
    		}


    basically what i wanna do, is simulate what windows does in the command.exe, where u can use the up and down arrows to recall and edit previous commands...

    thanks ^^
