Stupid questions about sash shell

Sorry to bore you with that but :

In sash command shell, installed by default in dist-20060803 from wiki :

1 - redirections like "ls /bin > /home/dirlist.txt" seems nor working. Why ?

2 - is there a simple way to have an history of typed commands that could be recalled with "up arrow" key ?

Thanks for help,

LeFred.
