Something worth knowing to anyone studying for CCIE, but rarely 
spelled out specifically, is that the router doesn't just record, or 
even alter the commands when you enter them -- it interprets them and 
then throws them away.  The earlier courses can give you the 
impression that the commands are entered are stored somewhere in RAM. 
They are not.
On slower routers, did you ever notice the slight delay before "show 
running" displays? Show running is essentially a reverse compiler or 
formatted dump that goes throgh the data structures of the router and 
creates the configuration statements it thinks would have put the 
router into the states reflected by the current values of the data 
structures.  The delay is due to the significant processing involved 
in recreating the statements.
