rewriting history

[<pl...@pi...>]

Hi,

is there was way to stop gnuplot compacting history?

While I realise this is done to save storage space somewhere, this is a 
constant annoyance.

I have an annoying problem where something keeps changing and I need to 
track exactly what is happening.

In a shell I would use the history command to see _exactly_ what I did 
and in what order to see what I have changed. I can see a true record of 
my commands and repeat various parts of it until I reproduce and 
understand the error.

with gnuplot this does not seem possible because history is forever 
being revised and compacted and no longer retains a useful record. In 
fact "history" does not provide the command history. It's more like 
recent favourites, that often saves some typing but it is not the 
command history.

I'm not that tight for space that I need to economise a few K.  I'd much 
rather save the few hours it's going to take me to find this problem 
without a proper record of the commands I've issued to make the problem 
repeatable.

Is there a means of preventing gnuplot from compacting the command 
history be removing dupes?



      regards, Peter.
