How to scroll back through the command line history in the Emacs interactive subshell?

Question

Let us say in the interactive subshell I run these commands:

I type M-p to go back to command_z.
But how can I scroll back the history of commands until I land on command_j, for example?

For cycling the command history in Shell use: M-n and M-p

have a look at Gnu Emacs Manual for the Shell ring

I landed on that page before asking, but I guess I am not smart :) Thank you for the help.

emacs documentation requires getting used to. It is very minimal yet concise. You are welcome!
