If that is the case you could try adding this line to your function.
logbb () {
ORIG_CMD=`tail -n1 $HISTFILE| awk -F'\;' '{print $2}'`
bbedit -t "${PWD##*/} — ${ORIG_CMD} — $(date)”
echo "${PWD##*/} — ${ORIG_CMD} — $(date)" | bbedit --prepend
}
The flags —prepend will tack the piped data to the top of the doc and — will
place it at the end.
