Thank you for your answer.

cmd.exe> psql --version
psql (PostgreSQL) 9.5.2

Like I wrote, the Windows OS is 8.1 Pro.

Are you doing this in PostgreSQL 7.3 and Windows XP? Can you provide us with a little more useful information like current PostgreSQL version and O/S?
Otherwise we have absolutely no idea what the problem might be.

    Hello,

    I am using "psql" in "cmd.exe" in Windows (8.1).

    Below is the command I use to connect to a database with "psql":
    cmd.exe> psql -p <tcp_port> -U <username> <database_name>

    My problem is the following.
    Suppose I enter one command:
    <database_name># SELECT * FROM <a_table_1>;
    and then another one:
    <database_name># SELECT * FROM <a_table_2>;
    The commands history "is not working": meaning I cannot retrieve
    these last two commands I entered by hitting the top arrow key.
    Instead, I have to type them again.

    To try to solve the problem, I entered the command:
    <database_name># \set HISTSIZE 100
    but it didn't change anything.

    Yesterday, I don't remember what I did, but I could access the
    commands history using Powershell, maybe the command "\set
    HISTSIZE 100" and maybe a "psqlrc" file.
    But whatever I've been trying to do since, I can't make it work again.

    Can you please advise me what to do to make this work?

    Best regards.
