Dr. Dobbs' Journal has recently published a UNIX-like shell that supports
among other things a history listing. The shell uses a subset of commands
from both the Bourne and the C shell. It can be obtained on a a PC format
diskette for $29.95 (sorry, but I don't have the address handy). 

The language does not have constructs to perform looping or expressions,
so compared to the standard shells on UNIX it is somewhat lacking for
writing scripts, but as an interactive shell it is useful.

It was originally developed using Microsoft C 3.0, but has subsequently
been ported by the author to Lattice. The source code is sent along with
an executable. 

For all the MS-DOS hackers, in UNIX as you may indeed well know, there are
very few commands actually built into the various shell. For this reason,
many of the standard commands that MS-DOS's COMMAND.COM pick up are NOT 
supported by this shell program. So, for that reason you may find it useful
to get a copy of the utility programs sold by Dr. Dobb's Journal, also
for $29.95.

At my work place we are primarily a C/UNIX house, but we do port our product
to the PC, so this is a useful tool when we actually have to any programming
on it.

Hope this is a useful product for you.
