 Because the option to change the history size (-h) is in kbdcontrol,
 not vidcontrol.  Whether it should be in vidcontrol is a subject for
 another thread; personally, I don't care as long as it's consistent.
 Putting -c, the option to clear history, in the same program as -h,
 the option to change history size, is consistent.
