In 10.6, Terminal.app only remembers what I've typed in super user mode.

In 10.5, it also remembers what I've typed in "normal" mode.

How do I get it to do that in Snow?

I have some extremely long commands that I use often (compiling) and it's annoying to have to copy/paste them in every time.

Suppose you are using bash, then in your .bashrc, at the very least make sure these lines are in the PS1 interactive section:-

shopt -s histappend
export HISTCONTROL=ignoredups
export HISTIGNORE="&:ls:[bf]g:exit"
shopt -s cmdhist

Thanks.

Apparently there is no ~/.bashrc on OS X by default and I found a post by someone saying to use ~/.profile instead so now I'm a little confused.

I'll figure it out eventually.

Read the friendly GNU bash info "info bash" in a terminal. I don't really think they belongs to profile, should be in the resource file, either .shrc or .bashrc. But of course since shopt I believe is bash specific, so it should be in .bashrc.
