What version are you using? What system? What version of readline did
you link against?

At some point (don't know when) we added readline to the TGDB. So,
if you start up CGDB, you should be able to do all of the readline
commands when typing into the GDB window. This even includes reverse
search through the history (^r).

Look at $HOME/.tgdb/readline-tgdb.dat. Is the file there?
That's the file that stores the history.
