In addition to Tony's good advice, it would also be worthwhile to check that (1) you've got a build with command-line history enabled and (2) that you have some history to recall

For #1, issue

  :version

and check for "+cmdline_hist" or verify that

  :echo has('cmdline_hist')

returns 1. If it's not built with cmdline_hist, you're likely running a stripped down "vim tiny" version and you may want to run/install/build a fuller-featured vim.


For #2, if you started Vim in compatible mode, the 'history' setting defaults to 0 which means no history is maintained. Check your value for 'history' to make sure it's >0

  :set cp? history?

You can override that setting.

Finally, if your term settings aren't detecting your <up> arrows, you should be able to use control+P instead (and control+N in place of <down>).
