  I use the same history file name (".sh_history"), but explicitly remove 
  it in my .profile just prior kicking off my .kshrc.  This unlinks any 
  visible versions of ".sh_history" -- however the "removed" versions are 
  still available to the previous invocation(s) of ksh (as temporary files). 

  Clean and simple...
