   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.
