First of all, shouldn't you be posting this in
freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org? This question has absolutely
nothing to FreeBSD networking.
Secondly, you want to use your shell's history editing. If
you want the up-arrow/down-arrow business, do this:
cd /usr/ports/shells/bash
make install
as this shell by default has that functionality. Another
shell, pdksh, under /usr/ports/shells/pdksh, can do this
optionally with the ``set -o gmacs'' command.
