Because when I hit the up arrow key in my shell, it understands this
as recalling (successively) previous command(s) in my shell history.

I guess the difference here must be that I normally use zsh rather
than sh?

Cool, but for some reason it was refusing to recognize /dev/ums0, even
though the device was present on the system. I looked around for
configuration bits, but didn't find any. Unless somebody sends me an
old serial mouse, the only type of mouse that will ever be plugged
into this system will be USB. This system doesn't even have connectors
for the mouse and keyboard connectors that were common 15 years ago
(and I don't have any of those mice laying around either).

For what it's worth, the hald/ubus conglomeration *does* recognize the
mouse.

Thanks!
