[R] How do I change the editor in R command window?

[Rasmus E. Benestad]

Dear R-help,

I have started using R on my Linux box (Debian), and I have some
problems with setting the editor/keyboard for R. The
For instance, arrow-up gives "^[[A", and delete gives "^H". I have a
Norwegian keyboard, but that doesn't cause any
problems for editors like emacs. Could you advice me on how I can set
the editor for R right? I have tried option(editor="emacs")
and setenv R_EDITOR=emacs, but without any effect.

Yours sincerely Rasmus Benestad
