If you just need history support probably rlwrap[0] will do the trick!
I usually use rlwrap in combination with csi:

 $ rlwrap csi

rlwrap is a readline wrapper and you can use it for a lot of different
programs. It is also smart enough to remember the history depending on
the invoked utility (in our case we will have a ~/.csi_history after
invoking "rlwrap csi").


HTH!
Ciao,
