Historysize
</H2>
Note: the command <B>set historysize</B> is only available when
gnuplot has been configured with the GNU readline.
<P>
Syntax:
<BR>
<PRE>
set historysize <int>
unset historysize
</PRE>
<BR>
<P>
When leaving gnuplot, the value of historysize is used for
truncating the history to at most that much lines. The default
is 500.
<B>unset historysize</B> will disable history truncation and thus
allow an infinite number of lines to be written to the history
file.
