This config variable is a generic option for setting the history length
for any "comint" mode, including shell, idlwave, and many others. That's
why you didn't find it under the IDLWave group (all those variables will
start with "idlwave-"). Since by default the history save length is much
greater than 32 lines, I assume you are running IDL outside of Emacs?

Note that IDLWAVE's callback history is completely separate from IDL's.
For a long time, it was the only way to have "persistent" command history
between sessions (but I guess IDL 6.4 fixed that ?). It wasn't at all
clear if you are using the IDLWAVE shell (i.e. an *idl* buffer will be
present in your Emacs session), or just using Emacs + IDLWAVE to edit your
".pro" files.
