I didn't mean that the path the data takes while traveling to disk is what made it into state, I was strictly talking about the nature of the data stored. Another example. The next major fish release is planned to use universal variables to share a common command history between all running shells. Surely, that is state, not configuration? I believe it was even mentioned earlier in this discussion as an example of application state. Axel
