Controlling ferret.jnl files

Question:

How do I avoid the creation of ferret.jnl files?

Solution:

Insert into $HOME/.ferret:

    \cancel mode verify
    cancel mode journal   ! turn off journaling
    sp rm -f ferret.jnl
    set mode/last verify

The rm command deletes the journal file created upon entering Ferret. Within a Ferret session you can always start recording commands in a journal file with

yes? set mode journal
