There are a couple possibilities:

- you have a "tiny" build of vim

- you have a custom version of vim built without history

- you have a console that's not passing arrow-keys the way Vim
expects


For #1, you'll want to install something like "vim-full" or a
less minimal package

For #2, don't build without the history option compiled in :)

For #1 and #2, you can check the output of

:version

to make sure it was built with +cmdline_hist

For #3, try control+P and control+N to see if they work. If so,
check your $TERM setting in the console and in Vim to make sure
they're not wacky.
