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. > > -- > @BABOLO http://links.ru/ > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
