Not so fast there, partner :-) Give folks more time to react. I really hate the default behavior of less where you can't quit via ^C or via paging through the end of file. BTW, this is what I have here: setenv PAGER more setenv MORE '-e -R -Pm?f%f:stdin .?lbLine %lb:?pb%pb\%:?bbByte %bb:-... ?eEND' > set filec > - set history = 100 > - set savehist = 100 > + set history = 10000 > + set savehist = 10000 > > No one complained about this one - it is almost certainly going to > stay it the final version. 10000 looks a bit too much. I recall using systems where setting this to 10000 caused exiting from a shell to be a very long process. Maybe try 1000 first, before trying more. Also, I second a suggestion to add merge directive to savehist. -- Andriy Gapon
