If you haven't installed any of the optional shells from the
ports collection (zsh, tcsh, bash), use this command:
exec sh -E
That will enable history and line editing features using the
cursor keys. If that's all that you want, there's no need to
install another shell. FreeBSD's sh is fine for that.
Otherwise, I'd recommend that you install zsh from the ports
collection, which has a lot of additional useful features.
Regards
Oliver
