When you quit script/console you lose your command history. What would it take to get get that command history to persist? I wouldn''t mind working on it if somebody had a good suggestion as to how to achieve that and if it was an acceptable solution to the core team.

Third Replicator,
If you are using some Linux system then you are safe. I use Ubuntu myself. I
was tied of rewriting everything I put on the console too. So I with some
little effort and help from friends, I made a small hack. Now, I have a
simple script that helps me keep track of command-line history for both *irb
* and *script/console*.
Follow the steps below:
- *create* *.irbrc* file in your home directory :
ceekays@kanjedza:~$ touch .irbrc
- *open* *.irbrc* using your preferred text editor (I prefer command-line
based ones: *vi, vim, gvim*), *add* the following lines and* save*:
*# This script saves and retrieves up to 600 lines of
# command-line history in both irb and script/console
# of a **Rails''s project. (UP and DOWN ARROW keys to navigate)
# In addition, it supports auto-completion.(Use the
# TAB key to get auto-complete suggestions).*
*# *
*# :SAVE_HISTORY keeps the maximum number of lines to be saved
# customize this to suite the amount of history would
# like to retrieve
#
# :HISTORY_FILE keeps the file name where the
# history is kept. In this case it is saved in the
# home directory of the current user
# i.e in the same directory where as this .irbrc file
*
ARGV.concat [ "--readline", "--prompt-mode",
"simple" ]
require ''irb/completion''
require ''irb/ext/save-history''
require ''rubygems''
require ''map_by_method''
require ''wirble''
require ''pp''
IRB.conf[:AUTO_INDENT]= true
IRB.conf[:SAVE_HISTORY] = 600
IRB.conf[:HISTORY_FILE] =
"#{ENV[''HOME'']}/.irb-save-history"
Wirble.init
Wirble.colorize
Once you have this, you will be able to retrieve script/console''s
command-line history up to 600 lines. Please inform me if doesn''t work.
I
would be very happy to get as much input as possible.
I think *Sprite* will also find this useful.
*
P/S: I am not sure if I have violated the forum rules by adding an
attachment. If so, forgive me and inform me how best I can send files
through.*
Regards,

Very nice! It works on my Mac 10.6, Ruby 1.9.1 via RVM, Rails 2.3.8. I had to install a couple of the required gems. Do you have it on Github?
