So this means `source' shouldn't ever be used in interactive shells if one cares about their shell history, right? I'll file an issue in the Midnight Commander bug tracker to use a shell function instead. It might be worth documenting the behaviour, though, as it is quite suprising -- shell functions don't need to turn off saving to history, so why should `source'? -- Tomáš Janoušek, a.k.a.
