I don't know what you're using, but ksh is a much hacked Bourne shell that
allows you to have features such as history, etc... that the SYS V Bourne
shell is lacking.  Fortunately it does not simulate the C-shell at all,
but uses the standard /bin/sh countrol structures and I/O redirection
primatives.
