Go down a little more on the side bar; after fonts, color, console, you should find Command history!

I've seen that you can set it at a rather high value. I have it at 100000. But eventually it will reach that maximum and I guess it will be cleared following a first-in first-out protocol so that the oldest information is periodically cleared. I'm afraid that if you reached the limit the information is definitely and irreversibly lost. The only way it would be somehow retrievable would be if you had noticed such situation right away when it started to happen and that nothing more has been done so that the probability that the information of the old version of the file, even if not accessible from the file system, is still there and can be located by a specialized recovery application such as Recuva (see https://www.ccleaner.com/es-es/recuva/download, there is a free version). But I guess one discovers that when it is too late. Anyway, it isn't a good policy to trust important information to a feature that is not intended for that purpose. What I do is to have a file named drafts.sce where I paste ideas, fragments of scripts, miscellaneous data and so on.

Now my history file from the previous Scilab version has lost much of its first part. Could that have been because of truncation because too big? Is any of this retrievable? Contains important data!
