Thanks for the explanation Kevin. There is no difference with your
suggestion, however. In the resulting shell buffer I see:
,-----[ C-h v comint-input-ring-file-name RET ]
| comint-input-ring-file-name's value is "~/.bash_history"
| Local in buffer *shell*; global value is nil
|
| Documentation:
| If non-nil, name of the file to read/write input history.
| See also `comint-read-input-ring' and `comint-write-input-ring'.
|
| This variable is buffer-local, and is a good thing to set in mode hooks.
|
| You can customize this variable.
|
| [back]
`-----
and cycling shows that: i.e. "M-n" and "M-p" cycle through
~/bash_history, rather than the value in the `let' statement. This is
strange. This is on Emacs 23.
