Severity: normal

If I hit ArrowUp -key in ksh93, it do not bring the last command from
history. If I hit <TAB> or <ESC><ESC> , it do not work as Tab
completion at all.

Here is some quote from KSH FAQ:

Q5.     How do I get the arrow keys to work?
A5.     Starting with the 'h' point release, on most keyboards you
        do not have to do anything to get the arrow keys to work.
        However, if they do not generate standard escape sequences,
        then you will have to use a keybinding function to get them
        to work.

Q6.     Does ksh support file name completion?
A6.     Yes, it does.  The default key binding is <ESC><ESC>
        however, starting with the 'g' point release, <TAB> also works
        for completion.  Note, the vi users need to set -o viraw
        in order to get <TAB> completion to work.

Q7.     Does ksh support command completion?
A7.     If you perform completion on the first word of a command,
        ksh will do completion using aliases, functions, and commands.

Q8.     Is completion programmable?
A8.     Yes, using the key binding mechanism, you can script the behavior
        of any key and therefore cause the current contents of any
        line to be replaced by any other line.
