Hi!
----
Attached is a small patch
("ksh93_bump_default_history_size_to_512.diff.txt") which increases the
default number of lines in the history from "128" to "512". The current
limit is little bit small in some cases (and some people complained
about this during testing) so I bumped it to "512" (bash3 uses "500" as
default).
It would be nice if this patch gets integrated for the next version...
----
Bye,
Roland
