    up arrow persistant through logins

    so i understand that previous commands are preserved and able to be recalled by UP ARROW from one login to the next.

    why/how does the BASH shell recalls these commands?

    what is the technical answer as to what the shell uses to perform this action?

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.
