Next Q: The behavior I am used to is that the command-line history persists within an emacs session. I can 'exit' IDL and come back to it, but as long as it's within the same emacs session, I keep my history. But working on a new machine, I discovered that IDLWAVE is now saving the history into ~/.idlwave/idlwhist, and it is persistent across emacs sessions. I don't think I want this, because 1) the most important thing I do with the history is redo my initialization, which means "initialization for this day's work on this project," not "whatever I happened to be doing 1000 lines ago." Also, 2) I don't know what would happen if I was running two IDLWAVE sessions (happens all the time).
How can I get back to the old behavior where the history was only retained within a single emacs session?
