Does anyone know how the history numbers are handled from login to login?
That is, if the current command number is, say, 427, and one logs out and logs
back in, the new current command number might be something like 203, with all
the previous commands renumbered accordingly.  I've experimented with this a
little bit, and can't see any logic in the renumbering.

Actually, I'd like all the old commands renumbered starting at 1 every time I
log in.  Is there a way to achieve this?
