After googling how to do this I ended up with the following in ~/.cshrc alias postcmd 'history -S; history -M' set history = 1000 set histdup = erase set savehist = (1000 merge) But the results were disastrous, instead of sharing the history each terminal opened with a fresh empty history and wiped out the previous .history file. What am I doing wrong? When I remove the postcmd alias I revert to the previous arrangement where each terminal window starts with the contents of .history and stores its entire history back into the file on exit. -- Mike Clarke
