I seem to remember from using a version of ksh way back when, that it was possible to set it up so that you can share history between multiple ttys. So if I typed a command in one window, I could retrieve and execute it from another window. I imagine there is some overhead for doing this, since I believe that it was just done by maintaining one common history file that was updated after each command. But it was really quite useful since it reduces the need to cut and paste and is especially useful for retrieving those long, interesting commands when you log on from a different machine. Is it currently possible to do something like this in zsh? If not, are there plans to support it in the future? Herb.
