Why not puting it in the shell script that calls Octave?
For instance:
===========================================
if exists ./.octave_hist
cp ./.octave_hist ~/octave_hist
endif
octave
if exists ./.octave_hist
cp ~/octave_hist ./.octave_hist
endif
==============================================
Then, if the directory is not active, you load the last used history,
whereas if it is active you load a history which is local to the
directory.
To activate a directory you can do:
cp ~/.octave_hist .
Hope this helps,
Mario
