But now I frequently get to see: _all_labels:39: subscript too big: 318937 So is there a maximum value or/and on what does it depend? BTW, I'd love to see an option like HIST_EXPIRE_ShortLines_FIRST so that really short history lines like "ls", "du -sh" etc. expire before long and complicated ones. Maybe even with a configurable line length. Or can that already be done somehow? Of course I could write a perl script that "cleans" my the history file nightly but I'd prefer the zsh-way. Thx, Andy. -- The world is moving so fast these days that the person who says it can't be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it. (Fosdick)
