Hi Peter, > After removing entries from the history (using "history -d" or > "history -c"), the entries are obviously buffered.

Does it gain new lines at the bottom as you enter commands in a terminal? Or only when the terminal exits? Do those lines include test ones that you've deleted? -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy
