Looking for resource on setting up history callback for shells

CSH, BASH, KSH, TCSH... They're all different, and I want to know how to setup automatic history for each of them?

I always use KSH myself and use ctrl-k to bringup my history. It also allows me to search my history and has vi editing.

I want to be able to do the same with other shells. I often have to hop onto other accounts and just get slowed down when they have a different setup as an environment.

NAME
makedbz - Rebuild dbz files SYNOPSIS
makedbz [-io] [-f filename] [-s size] DESCRIPTION
makedbz rebuilds dbz(3) database. The default name of the text file is pathdb/history; to specify a different name, use the -f flag. OPTIONS
-f filename If the -f flag is used, then the database files are named "filename.dir", "filename.index", and "filename.hash". If the -f flag is not used, then a temporary link to the name "history.n" is made and the database files are written as "history.n.index" , "history.n.hash" and "history.n.dir". -i To ignore the old database, use the -i flag. Using the -o or -s flags implies the -i flag. -o If the -o flag is used, then the link is not made and any existing history files are overwritten. If the old database exists, makedbz will use it to determine the size of the new database. -s size makedbz will also ignore any old database if the -s flag is used to specify the approximate number of entries in the new database. Accurately specifying the size is an optimization that will create a more efficient database. Size is measured in key-value pairs (i.e. lines). (The size should be the estimated eventual size of the file, typically the size of the old file.) For more information, see the discussion of dbzfresh and dbzsize in dbz(3). HISTORY
