This works for an old > 4.0.7 version of zsh Commenting out HISTFILE means no history will be written. Are there any special permissions/ownership on ~/.history ? Is this file being used by, say, bash or some other file at the same time? Might could be a locking issue, but it's strange that it just now is occuring. Try changing the name of HISTFILE to something else, like ~/.zhistory and see if it still hangs. > /Andy -- Peter A.
