Description
Hi,
With Rez 2.103.4 (Python 3.7) on Windows 10, we are finding that using cmd.exe with Rez doesn't let you step through your command history with the up-arrow key. This issue was reported a couple of years ago but seemed to have been fixed in 2.35.0
https://github.com/nerdvegas/rez/issues/616
```
$ rez env
> $ echo Hello World!
> $ # hit up-arrow
> $ # no response.. :(
```
It works as expected in Powershell until you launch a Python REPL process, which it then no longer works inside of.
Any suggestions/help would be very much appreciated! :) Apologies I don't really have the knowledge to look into this myself.
Thanks,
Nikhil

Research direction
Reproduce the issue on Windows 10 with Rez 2.103.4 using the shown rez env command, then compare command history in cmd.exe, PowerShell, and a Python REPL. Done means the up-arrow retrieves prior commands in the affected cmd.exe and Python REPL contexts.
