why doesn't history work in a shell script?

[Patrick Hertel]

 We are slowly converting to UNIX here so forgive me if my question seems
dumb. Is it possible to get history to work inside a shell script - i.e.
get a history of the steps in the script which could then be appended to a file for later perusal? I tried :

          #! /bin/csh
          ls 
          who
          date
          history

 The history command was mute. I even tried redirecting it to /dev/tty and
got diddly. Is it doing anything? If it is what, and where is it going?
