Description

The SET HISTPATH command determines whether the current directory name is added to commands stored in the command history file. A command history file is created when SET HISTORY is ON and set to output the history buffer to a file. This is achieved using the SET HISTORY TO FILE command. If SET DOHISTORY is also ON then commands executed from interpreted program files will also be stored in the command history file. Each line that is executed is placed into the file, next to the name, stack number and line number of the executing program, e.g.

/home/recital/test/:keyboard(0:1): do myprog /home/recital/test/:myprog(1:1): do subprog /home/recital/test/:subprog(2:1): open database southwind

Example

// Example using config.db file
set history on
set histpath on
set history to file myhist
set dohistory on
// End of config.db
