Making a trigger 'resend previous command'?

[twixt]

Is there any way I can access command history in a trigger? For instance, if I get an 'ability failed' message from the game that means I can reattempt the ability I just attempted; however, the game text doesn't include specifics so I have to manually enter in the previous command.

I googled but couldn't find out if this exists, and if not, how to make it happen. The only way I can think of doing it is making a variable that saves every command entered in a 'lastCommand' buffer but... that seems unwieldy.

Can you not have an alias that stores the ability you attempt for a subsequent trigger to refer to?

in many MUDs if you give a the single command ! it will repeat last command sent
