Perhaps you forgot the dollar sign? Also, in my env, there's no =E2=80=9Chistory=E2=80= =9D as env var by default (never heard of that), but there's =E2=80=9C$HIST=E2=80=9D. env var expansion works in emacs's shell command in both OS X and Windows Vista. However, when you run shell in emacs, not necessarly all your env var in terminal are inherited. The situation is a bit complex depending on what OS you running.
