Just the up and down arrows could not work, because in Shell mode, you
are supposed to be able to move through the buffer, so the arrows need
to have their usual meaning.  But M-p or C-up and M-n or C-down work.
It is explained in `(emacs)Shell Ring'.

   Just a few elisp lines and it works. (But are not others looking
   for this?)

Looking for what exactly?
