Subject: Saving history under tcsh

Hello,

I've edited my ~/.cshrc file to have the following commands

set history = 1000
set savehist

A .history file is created upon logout but it contains no history (i.e.
it has zero bytes)! What am I missing?

My /cygwin.bat file invokes tcsh upon startup like so:

tcsh -l
