One more...

In the shell mode, when yanking things back from the history (M-p), I've noticed that any multi-line commands that were previously submitted (e.g. via paste) are now yanked back as individual lines rather than full commands. This only seems to happen for things in the history prior to when the shell is started.

To reproduce:

1. cut the following command:

echo 'hello
world'

2. M-x shell
3. paste and hit return
4. see the following echoed:

hello
world

5. C-x k (kill shell)
6. M-x shell
7. M-p (yank back last command)
8. see that you only get:

world'

9. M-p (yank again)
10. see that you only get:

echo 'hello

Doing this in bash, I get the same result because it saves multi-line
commands on separate lines in ~/.bash_history and reads each line as
a separate command.  Why should Emacs be different in this regard?

I could have sworn that aquamacs 1.9 preserved multi-line shell  
commands across shell sessions, but perhaps I'm mistaken. It certainly  
does preserve multi-line shell commands within a single shell session.

Bash preserves multi-line shell commands within a single shell session too
when its shopt option `cmdhist' is set.

There is also the option `lithist' that replaces newlines with semicolon
separators.  But it doesn't help because it doesn't replace newlines
inside command line arguments.

So I see no way to save multi-line shell commands in ~/.bash_history
in a way compatible with Bash.  Do you have any ideas?

Does eshell save multi-line shell commands in ~/.bash_history
compatible with Bash?

No, it save in eshell file history (.emacs.d/.eshell/)

,----
| thierry@~/.emacs.d/.eshell $ ls
| alias  history  lastdir  profile
`----

,----
| thierry@~/.emacs.d/.eshell $ echo 'hello
| world'
| hello
| world
| ==> C-up RET
| thierry@~/.emacs.d/.eshell $ echo 'hello
| world'
| hello
| world
`----

That save like that in history file:

,----
| echo 'helloworld'
| echo 'helloworld'
`----
