+* Command history.
+
+Bash allow accessing to command that you type previously. There are exist
+several options to control command history behavior. Set corresponding
+variables in your ~/.bashrc file (which is read by interactive shell):
+
+  #   ignorespace do not save lines that start with space
+  #   erasedups all previous lines matching the current line to be removed from
+  #             the history list before that line is saved
+  export HISTCONTROL=igrorespace:erasedups
+  export HISTIGNORE=" ?cd *":"e *":"sudo mv *":"sudo rm *":"sudo cp *":"sudo mkdir *":"sudo chmod *":"sudo chown *":ls:pwd:"vlc*"
+
+There are another options, with default values (which satisfy my neediness, so
+I don't put they to ~/.bashrc):
+
+  export HISTFILE=~/.bash_history  # where is command history stored
+  export HISTFILESIZE=500          # how many lines been in $HISTFILE
+  export HISTSIZE=500              # how many lines been stored in bash process
+
+** mc (GNU Midnight Commander).
+
+You can also set special history rules for mc subshell in ~/.mc/bashrc file.
