What for? I think shell-like command history is not needed in Emacs,
for the following reasons:
. Emacs is supposed to be started whenever the user logs in, and then
never stopped until the machine is shut down or the user logs off.
. The desktop.el package, if you activate it in your .emacs, will
cause each session to visit all the files that were part of the
previous session at the point when the previous session ended.
. The recentf.el package will add to the "File" menu-bar item the
names of files that were visited recently, so the user could select
them from a menu instead of typing the names.
If these features are not enough to solve whatever problems your wife
has, please describe those remaining problems.
