So: read the man page, find the switches and options you need and hand write that bitch on a notepad, close the man page and execute the command. It’s tedious but it will help your not-great memory work a lot better.
Or easier, just fire up multiple tty's. The poor person's tabs.
What does tty mean in this context?
In this context it is multiple command line instances, like multiple terminals.
