[comp.os.vms] Can RECALL buffer be saved?

sandrock@uxe.cso.uiuc.edu (07/14/88)

One of our professors here would like to be able to automatically save his
recall buffer (the 20 most recent commands) so that it could be reloaded
the next time he logged in. In skimming thru the System Services and the
RTL manuals, I could find nothing having to do with the recall buffer. My
hunch is that the buffer exists somewhere in my process space, but then how
do I access it? The other problem is that our Equinox disconnects users after
20 minutes of idle time, so to really be useful, I would have to find a way
to have an image activated at logout time. As far as I know, this is not
possible under VMS, i.e, something equivalent to a "logout.com", but then
perhaps there is something I'm overlooking.

Thanks in advance for any help,
