command stack in buffer

@ andrew
Your suggestion does not seems to be working.
my configuration in ~/.bashrc file

# don't put duplicate lines in the history. See bash(1) for more options
# don't overwrite GNU Midnight Commander's setting of `ignorespace'.
export HISTCONTROL=$HISTCONTROL${HISTCONTROL+,}ignoredups
# ... or force ignoredups and ignorespace
#export HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth

@patton

Yes; patton this is something I wanted to do. But if my history list is
clean without any duplicates; i will end my search on this topic.

:)
