Quit the terminal ad restart to see if your bash history is working.
Failing that type the following command into your terminal:

This fixed the prob with the term open. History works fine with the x
terminal open.
Try your history now, without closing the terminal. If it suddenly
started to work it means the terminal is not giving you a login shell,
which can apparently cause some problems.
How do I set the x terminal to always give me a login shell?
Thanks

I don't think this is what you want. You probably have an errant
entry in your .profile or .bashrc that is somehow fixed by your .login
file. it would be better to figure that out than to just always use a
login shell, I would think. But if you are always logging in every
time you use an xterm and never doing anything else, I suppose it
doesn't matter, eh?
But that's not what you asked. To always have xterm give you a login
shell, you can use the -ls option to xterm. (see man xterm)
