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.
