You are correct, it is a function of the shell. By default, most Linux
distros give you bash, which does implement this feature. Perhaps you are
running another shell that does support this. Try typing "bash" at a console
to load bash. Now type some other commands (to put some stuff in the history
buffer) and then try using the arrow keys. Try this in a real console,
without X.
