Within your .profile make sure that you have the $HISTFILE environment variable set and exported (see above) and one or both of these two possible lines:
Then you can use the keystroke sequence <esc>/k to present the last command typed for editing. Move backwards or forwards through the command history using the "-" or "+" keys respectively. If you find a command you want to edit, type "v" which will invoke "vi". Then after editing, use the usual ":wq!" to exit vi and the edited command will execute.
Tip: If you decide to not execute any command (edited or not), blank the command in vi (eg. the "dd" vi command) and then ":wq!".
