[comp.unix.xenix] savehist on xenix

mike@ivory.SanDiego.NCR.COM (Michael Lodman) (02/17/88)

I'm using SCO Xenix 2.2 and the c-shell. I would like to know if
there is a workaround for the apparent lack of savehist for 
history in the c-shell. This is a feature I've grown quite dependent
on when I use other unix systems.

When you die, if you've been very, very good, you'll go to ... Montana.

Please see the XENIX User's Reference Manual, (C) section, CSH
subsection, page 2 bottom paragraph through the end of page 4.

Try 'set history=20' or 'setenv history=20' to give you 20 command
history entries.
