Don't know how to get the arrow keys to work as command recall...yet...
but with ksh you can try:
set -o emacs
   or
set -o vi

With 'set -o emacs':
   ^P   Previous command
   ^N   Next command
   ^B   Back up a character
   ^F   Move forward a charcer
   ^D   Delete character
   ^K   Erase from cursor to end of line

With 'set -o vi':
 --First the ESC key must be pressed--
    k   Previous command
    j   Next command
    h   Back up a character
    l   Move forward a character
    x   Delete character
    D   Erase from cursor to end of line

*>    ^P   Previous command

*>    ^B   Back up a character
*>    ^F   Move forward a charcer

*>    ^K   Erase from cursor to end of line

With emacs mode (and recent revisions of ksh), you can set shell
aliases to interpret the escape codes generated by your arrow keys.

alias __A=" " # recall previous line
alias __B=" " # goto next line
alias __D=" " # go back in a line
alias __C=" " # go forward in a line

(I can't find this in my FM though...)
