you can press "ESC -" to see and execute the previous commands
You can even do the following:
Esc + j <--- moves down the command history
Esc + k <-- moves up the command history
Esc + j <--- moves down the command history
Esc + k <-- moves up the command history
What version of Solaris?
If you are on Solaris =>9, then bash comes as standard.

ESC + j or k or - don't work.

Refer to this link to see about command history of k shell in solaris 8. The above mentioned commands work on solaris 10. So maybe its not the same in solaris 8.

ksh (and bash for that matter) have two types of command line edit modes, emacs and vi.
emacs is the default.
If you prefer vi (like most people), you need to do
set -o vi
Then you can use the Esc - and Esc + etc.

and the history command works.
when i press these keys, i got:
Up : ^[[A
Down : ^[[B
Is there a way to bind the arrow keys to the history ?
