Your comments are welcome, but they are largely incorrect.

This version of rc was written outside the Labs in 1991 from the reference materials publicly available at the time.

Shell history is implemented as an external command (as in plan9's shell).

~ does not alias to $home on plan9port, or in my version of the shell. ~ is the pattern matching operator:

% ls ~ ls: ~: No such file or directory % ls ~/.rcrc ls: ~/.rcrc: No such file or directory % ~ a b || echo not matched not matched

Good luck.
