Ok, this is really stumping me.

In linux, by default, I think you get the basic shell or "bash", this =
shell allows you to simply hit the up arrow to go through a bunch of =
your previous command line commands. =20

So I install FreeBSD, and lo and behold, I can find no such feature in =
the basic (bourne?) shell.  Is there one?  How about for other shells =
like csh and ssh?

I may be lazy but it is such a useful feature I can't believe its not =
there somewhere.  help me find it please.
