Did you set it locally in the shell buffer (mode)? The doc string
says this:
"This variable is buffer-local, and is a good thing to
set in mode hooks."
No. I found it in a *customise* buffer and set it there first.
What is the value of comint-input-ring-file-name in your shell
buffer if you don't ever explicitly set it?
Now, edited to fit into a system of a handful Emacsen, it is set as:
'(comint-input-ring-file-name (concat desktop-dirname "/history"))
Desktop-dirname is defined in .emacs. In recent GNU Emacs 23 the
variable's value is described as:
comint-input-ring-file-name is a variable defined in `comint.el'.
Its value is "~/.history"
Local in buffer *shell*; global value is
"~/.emacs.d/PDesktop-23/history"
Documentation:
*If non-nil, name of the file to read/write input history.
See also `comint-read-input-ring' and `comint-write-input-ring'.
This variable is buffer-local, and is a good thing to set in mode
hooks.
You can /customize/ this variable.
When I comment the comint-input-ring-file-name setting line, its
value is simply "~/.history."
I retrieved the values by pasting comint-input-ring-file-name into
*shell* buffer and pressing C-h v.
