On typing "exit" in a Terminal window, I get the message: "Saving session...shell_session_save:9: shell_session_save_user_state_functions: parameter not set"
This occurred after I attempted to change the Profile in Terminal > Preferences > Profiles
Any ideas how I can get it to go away?

Great news my friend, I'm so happy I could help! :)
As a general rule of thumb, plists in the user account can be deleted, & they get normally get he normal copy from the one in System or System>Library, sometimes making a new one is built into the App if it doesn't find one.
If worried you can rename it or move it for a test.

I'd try deleting. with Terminal not running & restart..
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal.plist
Or maybe look for clues in...
~/Library/Application Support/CrashReporter/Terminal_[BigLongNumber].plist
Thanks. I deleted .zsh_sessions/ and the system regenerated the directory, but the error remains.
shell_sessions seem to be managed by /etc/zsh_Apple_Terminal, but I am not enough of a sys admin to interpret it in order to correct the problem.
Hope I won't have to restore my entire Data volume from a snapshot.
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?
Thank you!
There was no Terminal Crash Report.
Deleting com.apple.Terminal.plist worked.
I understand some plists shouldn't be messed with so I needed reassurance from someone knowledgeable.
Have a good rest-of-the-weekend.

To further clarify, if you do this, then you should log out of the user account and log back in so that the new default settings are used. The old settings won't be released until after logging out of that user account.
No idea really, but wonder if it's related to this in bash...
Bash subshell in Terminal has Mac OS's session save enabled - Ask Different (stackexchange.com)
Me too! :(
In Terminal>Preferences>Profiles>Shell, what does When Shell exits say?
re: In Terminal>Preferences>Profiles>Shell, what does When Shell exits say?
"Don't close the window"
and
"Ask before closing" has "Only if ....." selected.
No problems with the new account.
Thanks for continuing to ponder this!
Yes, I used restart for short.:)
