[Gnuplot-info] History command problems

[Nunzio L. <nun...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I'm using Gnuplot development version 4.5. However I try I cannot make the
"history" command behave as I wish.

All history commands seem to yield the history command itself as the last
issued command (sorry for the tongue-twister).
This is a bit annoying as commands like:

history [n] "filename"

will write the last n commands PLUS the command 'history [n] "filename" ' to
file filename. So doing  load 'filename' will also execute the latter,
meaning that the file itself will change.

history 10 "|head -5 >>diary.gp"

behaves almost fine apart writing the command number at the beginning of
each line, which makes file "diary,gp" useless.

There's no way to combine the "quite" option and write to a file.

Are this behaviours normal or should they be considered bugs?

Regards,

N.
