For what purpose do i have .profile file in my home directory?

Also  when i enter history at my prompt i get a listing 
of ALL the commands that i made and these number into the thousands, how
can i tell my server to lose the last say 10 commands when i logout.

bye

Neither question has anything whatsoever to do with PINE at all.

The answer however:

man bash
man csh

HISTSIZE=10
