My impression is, and I have heard from folks who should know, that
documentation on local (AFSspace, anyway) packages is often way
downlevel (and is sometimes not even installed). Support here is not
always what one would desire.

Umm ... I may not be such a skilled user, but I _do_ know how to read
a manpage :-)

Worth a shot. Perhaps I should make clearer:

How do I "do it from within Tramp"? I think I know what needs to
happen: after login I need to utter

set HISTSIZE=0

or

set HISTFILE=/dev/null

or whatever. How do I make Tramp do that? I'm looking for something
like tramp-utter-this-after-login-command, and I don't see anything.
Must I hack tramp.el?
