Solution: Don't hit the 'X' button.  Don't get out of
bash by turn off the power, either.  Use "logout" or
"exit".

Bash obviously does not save history after each
command; it saves history when it shuts down.  Hitting
the 'X' button kills it without going through the
normal shut down sequence.

I've been using cygwin for a while now on Windows 2000
and now Windows 
XP - I have updated to the latest version of Cygwin.

If I type "logout", the BASH history is saved and the
window closes.

If I close the cygwin window by hitting the 'X' button
in the windows titlebar 
the Bash History is not saved though I wish it was. -
is there a solution to 
this minor annoyance?

Shane
