gis.h:
...
#define MAXEDLINES  50
#define RECORD_LEN  80
...
struct History
{
    char    mapid[RECORD_LEN];
    char    title[RECORD_LEN];
    char    mapset[RECORD_LEN];
    char    creator[RECORD_LEN];
    char    maptype[RECORD_LEN];
    char    datsrc_1[RECORD_LEN];
    char    datsrc_2[RECORD_LEN];
    char    keywrd[RECORD_LEN];
    int     edlinecnt;
    char    edhist[MAXEDLINES][RECORD_LEN];
};


so 50 rows x 80 cols.

62 may be the limit that r.info will show? 'r.info -h' should show all.

In G_command_history() I used 70. Seems ok.

yes.
