Command to save command history

Is there an Octave command to save the command history?.History is
saved when Octave terminates normally, but all history accumulated
since the last startup is lost if Octave crashes or is killed.

The reason for asking is that Octave 5.2.0 on windows crashes
frequently, especially when using plotting. During development it is
easily possible to request plots that go into a loop and hang. Ctrl-C
is ineffective at that point and the only solution is to use the task
manager to kill Octave and restart it.

I can put up with having to restart Octave occasionally, but it is a
real pain to lose the history and have to reopen all the files that
were open in the editor.

A command to save history (and list of open files) would save a lot of
frustration.

Cheers... Ian
