I have wanted to set up my history to only show a one time

I found this on the web: "http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10361343-263.html?tag=mncol;title
"
I followed the procedure and couldn't get the file to save. After
some research I found that I had to create the ".bash_profile"
file, which I did and it
worked. However at this point I couldn't access the ports, so I
removed the .bash_profile, closed the terminal and reopened and now
my ports are back
with no issues.
My question is can I under ports set up the same kind of profile,
so that history will not show any duplications. If this is possible
how would I go about doing this ?
Sounds like the MacPorts installer set up your PATH in
your .profile. Bash will read startup instructions from
either .bash_profile or .profile, but ignores .profile
if .bash_profile is present. So, pick one file and put all your code
in that one, and delete the other one.

So If I understand correctly I should delete the .profile.save and
place the "export HISTCONTROL=ignoredups" in the .profile and all
should work.
