  history
       
          1.  A record of previous user inputs (e.g. to
          a command interpreter) which can be re-entered without
          re-typing them.  The major improvement of the C shell (csh)
          over the Bourne shell (sh) was the addition of a command
          history.  This was still inferior to the history mechanism on
          VMS which allowed you to recall previous commands as the
          current input line.  You could then edit the command using
          cursor motion, insert and delete.  These sort of history
          editing facilities are available under tcsh and GNU Emacs.

        romance; -- distinguished also from annals, which relate
        simply the facts and events of each year, in strict
        chronological order; from biography, which is the record
        of an individual's life; and from memoir, which is history
        composed from personal experience, observation, and

  HISTORY, evidence. The recital of facts written and given out for true. 
       2. Facts stated in histories may be read in evidence, on the ground of 
  their notoriety. Skin. R. 14; 1 Ventr. R. 149. But these facts must be of a 
  public nature, and the general usages and customs of the country. Bull. P. 
  248; 7 Pet. R. 554; 1 Phil. & Am. Ev. 606; 30 Howell's St. Tr. 492. 
  Histories are not admissible in relation to matters not of a public nature, 
  such as the custom of a particular town, a descent, the boundaries of a 
  county, and the like. 1 Salk. 281; S. C. Skin. 623; T. Jones, 164; 6 C. & P. 
  586, note. See 9 Ves. 347; 10 Ves. 354; 3 John. 385; 1 Binn. 399; and
