Actually, with "Alt-E" you can drop to DOS and delete the history list
while still maintaining your Internet connection. You can also perform
other DOS file functions, edit or write files and so on, while not
dropping your connection. Typing "exit" at the DOS prompt will
return you to an online Arachne if that's what you left.
DOS doesn't ask for confirmation before deletions unless you have
that "undelete sentry" thing set up as a safeguard.
And I don't think that Arachne ever calls the history list anything
other than "history.lst", but I could be wrong about that.
