[R] Arrow keys don't work in R

[Agustin Lobo]

Hi,

Besides the problem with gnome, I have now
a compiled version of R-1.4.0 that has the
same functionality than what I had from
an rpm installation, except that the arrow
keys (so useful to recover history and
edit lines) write garbage like:

^[[A^[[A^[[A^[[A

The keys work fine in both kde and xterm
windows outside R. I suspect this might be something to
specify in one of the Renviron files,
but don't have the ones created by the
rpm to compare.

By the way, the installation did not create
any Renviron.site file, is this a problem?

Thanks

Agus
