You don't indicate whose UNIX you're running. Most of them offer an
alternative to the standard /bin/sh known as ksh (also called
k-shell or Korn shell, after David Korn, its creator). Ksh offers
command history with editing (use either vi- or emacs-style editing
commands) and several other convenience features.
