It sounds like you are running this as a separate script rather than
sourcing it in the current shell.  Since it is running as a brand new
shell (and likely a non-interactive on at that) there is no history.

I'm not very familiar with kshell, but perhaps there is an option you
can set that will cause the history to be saved automatically.

otoh, why not just install bash or zsh?
