History

Hi I am new here.Hope this has not been already posted.I searched,but couldn't find.
I am currently learning and using lots of new bash commands,I even check sites and try out commands,or visit folders like /usr/bin and /bin etc and just man many of them and try them.
The thing is..I forget some of such commands.I want to save my entire commands history whenever I quit.
Currently the HISTFILESIZE is 500 and that is not enough at all.
I want to write a script to save my history (from all terminal sessions) to some file in appending manner.
Also how do I permanently increase my history file size.
export $HISTFILESIZE=10000 made it so temporarily only..the file still stores only 500.
