In BeOS and Linux I use separate per project .profile and .bash_history with http://dev.haiku-os.org/browser/haiku/trunk/3rdparty/mmu_man/scripts/dev-perso Works like a charm, and I have like $ dev | wc -l 18 projects here. Helps keep things isolated :) It should probably also work on OSX too. François.
