zsh is a pretty good interactive shell (it finally weaned me off tcsh), 
as well as supporting a full range of redirection and control 
constructs. You should look at that, in particular the
        set -o sharehistory
option (which does half of what you're after).

Combine this with a shared .history file and you should get the effect 
you're after.
