I continued testing and found:

1.) Mudlet doesn't reset the history after an ENTER on an empty line.
This is what most irritated me.

2.) The history wrapping around (circular list) also needs some getting
used to. My bet is that this is more frustrating than useful. History
semantics should have a clear top/bottom notion.

3.) my proposed reset-when-backspacing (an empty line or the whole
marked line) is probably not necessary and at least not how was the bash
shell does it. But think about it, it may be more user-friendly.

I will open an additional issue for some suggestions for commands to
improve history browsing.

Bug description:
Snapshot March 15:

Walking through the command history should reset, when hitting Backspace (deleting the whole line) or Enter.
With resetting I mean that after this, the line I should get with "up-arrow" is my last input.

I dont have figured out how Mudlet walks through my command history, but ATM "up-arrow" rarely gives me, what I'd expect.
