It's been that way for as long as I can remember, but I wish I could do something like (setq minibuffer-history-defaults t) to get those values. I think it would only require a relatively simple change to this code in minibuf.c:read_minibuf(): /* Add the value to the appropriate history list unless it is empty. */ if (XSTRING (val)->size != 0 && SYMBOLP (Vminibuffer_history_variable)) -- Kevin Rodgers
