Well actually that depends. Bash is bit more intelligent. If you have more than 
two logins for same user, it does not merge the history immediately. Separate 
history is available in each session, but I believe they are merged at some 
point of time, again intelligently..

As against, stupid ksh on HP-UX where you recall command typed in a separate 
session..  And no alternatives on these, please.. I don't administer the 
boxes..
