    I rely on .bash_history alot to remind me what command syntax to use - I
    don't scroll back thro the history with the up button, I just grep the
    .bash_history file for the command I want to run.

    This used to work until recently when I found that the .bash_history had
    been transformed into a data file, instead of the ASCII text that I was
    used to.

    I don't know what caused this. But I deleted the file and carried on.
    For a while the .bash_history file returned as ASCII text, but now it's
    happened again.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks
    Adam
