I have read in the "Learning the Korn Shell" book about history file for each login session. In the book it said to put "HISTFILE=~/.hist$$" in your .profile to create a history session for users that run more than one login session at a time.
it set the HISTFILE in the env variables, but does not create the .hist$$ under the user /home/user.

Have you tried exporting the HISTFILE variable:
HISTFILE=~/.hist$$ export HISTFILE

hello Carlos,
Just worth checking.. Please check if you are getting .hist<somenumber> ??
try a "ls -al *hist*" under home directory.

Here is the problem, the .hist<somenumber> does not get created on the first shell session. When i open serveral shells with the same user id it works the ways it should.
