Re: readline history doesn't work on FreeBSD

If you want to keep the history between gp session, you need to set

histfile = "~/.gp_history"



This works.
My question is why doesn't pari default to having the history "on"? After a while users would forget that this custom action is needed, and as a result most would never use the history feature, and some eventually would ask this question again. 


This is a natural expectation to have history, rather than not have it.
