    commands held in memory

    I have been using backtrack 5 for some time. I could use the up arrow key to bring up previous commands.
    Looks like kali only saves commands for the current session. Is that correct or is there another way to retrieve all?

    thanks TAPE. The path for those who would like to edit that file in Leafpad is..
