System name: lycus
What's wrong:
The source(1) man page implies that 'source -h' sources the file AND
places the commands into the history. In actuality it only puts the
commands into the history.
An excerpt:
Normally source executes the command lines without adding
them to the history list. The commands will be added to the
history list if you use the -h option.
What should have happened:
It should state that -h only puts the commands into the history and does
not execute them.
excerpt from csh(1):
Nor-
mally input during source commands is not placed on the
history list; the -h option causes the commands to be
placed in the history list without being executed.
