It's odd, apparently on windows it accidentally is able to use the OS (command line window) history...But it's the same code, so not sure why it works (only) there. I've noticed that if you exit ij, change directories, go back and start ij again, (at least I think that's the sequence of events), the history stops working on windows too. There's been a bug logged to get history working in ij, and some attempt has been made to fix this, but it hasn't gone anywhere, see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1447.
