I noticed that several programs in Lite 4.0.3 store their history world-readable.

I assume that the conventional policy towards history files is not to make them world-readable. (Example: ~/.bash_history is not
world-readable.)

Expected: any program stores by default its history not world-readable. 

This report tracks individual bug reports with this concern for different programs: it depends on them.

Another good example: ~/.mc/history is not world-readable:

$ l .mc
