My .bash_profile contains "export HISTFILESIZE=0". This allows each instance of Bash to have its own history, but it isn't saved on shell exit.

You can just unset HISTFILE to get this behavior.

Wow, why would you _not_ want to save your history to disk?!? That's where my entire productivity comes from, together with:

"\e[B": history-search-forward
"\e[A": history-search-backward

... in /etc/inputrc.
