With bash, it's much cleaner however, and I wish DCL had a bash-style
incremental search facility.

On Linux, I run with a command history buffer of 5,000 commands which
means all the regular commands never expire (both daily and across
multiple active projects), while allowing all the one-off junk to
eventually drop out of the command history buffer automatically.

One problem with your approach is that you will be saving all the
one-off junk as well as the commands you really want to save.
