bash: common history across multiple sessios ???



This has been bugging me for several years, and today -- hopefully --
some kind soul is going to enlighten me ;>

Several years ago, running ksh on several AIX and Solaris servers, and
many, many simultaneous xterm's open on many boxen, commandline history
was _common_ across all of my sessions on a given box.

In other words, when I typed a long command string into one terminal,
later switched to another terminal session on same box, then I could
recall that particular command from history and edit/use it as I will.

On bash setups, I am never clear which of many sessions gets the last
word writing to ~/.bash_history ?!?!  When I start another terminal
session, I never know what will and will not be in ~/.bash_history!

Is there a way to coerce bash to behave as my old ksh?

What do you think?
