command line history

See VIM REFERENCE MANUAL > cmdline.txt
--or--
:help :history
:help q\:
:help q\/

When using MacVim or terminal vim, I can use up-arrow to recall  
previous commands. Also :history, q: or q/ will open a window showing  
the previous commands. All this works in MacVim or terminal vim in  
the current session.

The problem is after quitting MacVim, and starting again the commands  
issued in the previous session are no longer there, ie NOT saved. The  
terminal vim does save those commands in the file named  .viminfo

Using :history, q: or q/ with MacVim will show the items  
in  .viminfo  but new commands issued in MacVim are not persistent  
across sessions.
