Note: Embird stores the history list in the "embird_history.txt" file in the temporary folder for currently logged on user, e.g. into "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\embird_history.txt" (or in "C:\EMBIRD32\HISTORY.TXT" file if you use version prior to Embird 2006). You can delete this file manually (e.g. in Windows Explorer) if you want to clear the history list, or select the "Middle Panel -> Clear History" menu in Embird.
