I'm somehow lost. Can you, please, describe exactly what you do?  
First, do you mean the console (i.e. editing on the R prompt) or the  
editor (editing R code in a separate window)? I'm not quite sure how  
to recall previous commands in the editor... (arrows just move the  
cursor, right?). In the console I don't see any lines adding up,  
either. I'm sure I'm missing something, but I'm can't seem to find  
out what...

Thanks,
Simon
