:) funny
I think the default behavior when HISTFILE is unset (empty in process
memory buffer) is more usefull than an 1/32000 chance to get the
history of the last time ksh was run.
I personally do not beleive in an history file. I just wanted to
tell people that in OpenBSD's ksh, it works like nothing else.
Usually, the history file is used to seed the current shell process
in-memory history and when the shell quits, it's overwriten.
That's how it works in:
OpenBSD's csh, GNU's bash, etc.
