Thanks. That simplifies things a bit, but it also prefixes with
"/dev/", so the revised script goes like so...
# If running interactively, then:
if [ "$PS1" ]; then
# Set up a separate HISTFILE, depending on which tty we logged in
# from. Convert slashes in tty names (e.g. "pts/0") into underscores.
mytty=`tty | sed "s/\/dev\///
sx/x_xg"`
export HISTFILE="${HOME}/.history_${mytty}"
