history() *shows* (the last 25 lines of) the current history buffer. history(max=Inf) *shows* all the current history buffer. Note: It does not save the history, it does not set any limits. In order to save the history use savehistory(). A major part of the history buffer will be emptied if the buffer becomes full. You can set larger limits to the buffer by clicking "Edit" -> "GUI preferences" and set "buffer bytes" and "lines" appropriately.
