[R] command history under cursor keys

[Uli Flenker; Raum 704]

John,

I'm not running R under hpux, but I have the same problem generally with
the hpux terminal emulator ("hpterm"). For example I installed a GNU bash
on our hpux (with the readline library statically linked) and the arrow
keys don't provide history functions but just move the cursor.

That can be avoided when using xterm which is shipped also with hpux. So
probably you should just try to run R from within xterm (or directly use
emacs/ESS).

I have to say our hpux is sveral years old; I think the version is around
8.x.

	Good luck!
