BTW, I just checked the
/System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework/Versions/A/Headers/WebHistoryItem.h
file (Tiger-I don't run Panther anymore, so I don't know if it's applicable
there) and see that it discusses a HistoryAgeInDaysLimit which one can use
to set the maximum number of days to be read from stored history. [See
<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/WebKit/ObjC_classic/Classes/WebHistoryItem.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20001898>
for details.]

Based on my earlier post, you do this in terminal to add the age in days
limit (not currently in the Safari plist) and set it to 30 days:

defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitHistoryAgeInDaysLimit 30

AFAIK, if you change the WebKitHistoryItemLimit and add then
WebKitHistoryAgeInDaysLimit, then which ever limit you hit first determines
what you'll see in Safari's history.
