program_invocation_short_name(3) [xfree86 man page]
INVOCATION_NAME(3) Linux Programmer's Manual INVOCATION_NAME(3)NAME
program_invocation_name, program_invocation_short_name - obtain name used to invoke calling program
SYNOPSIS
#define _GNU_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
#include <errno.h>
extern char *program_invocation_name;
extern char *program_invocation_short_name;
DESCRIPTION
program_invocation_name contains the name that was used to invoke the calling program. This is the same as the value of argv[0] in main(),
with the difference that the scope of program_invocation_name is global.
program_invocation_short_name contains the basename component of name that was used to invoke the calling program. That is, it is the same
value as program_invocation_name, with all text up to and including the final slash (/), if any, removed.
These variables are automatically initialized by the glibc run-time startup code.
CONFORMING TO
These variables are GNU extensions, and should not be used in programs intended to be portable.
NOTES
The Linux-specific /proc/[number]/cmdline file provides access to similar information.

I'm looking for finer granularity than the 20 ANSI escape sequence screen modes. What I'd like to do is have the terminal increase it's own height when I have to show the user a long menu.
Platform is Cygwin 64 running over Win 7 Pro.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.
# When the shell exits, append to the history file instead of overwriting it
