Prompt / Console problem
The features you are looking for are provided to R by the readline library. Most likely, your version of R was not built with readline support. On some Linux distributions with package management systems (I'm not sure about Mandrake), you sometimes need to install a package named readline-devel or something like that (the development version of the library) before compiling R. -roger

Hi, I have R installed under a Mandrake linux system and I don't have shell utilities any more under my R console such as completion when writing a file path, back and forth in the history, bindkeys... Moreover when I quit R by saving, no .Rhistory file is created while the .Rdata is. I don't get how this work, I thought it was based on the user unix shell but it does not seem. Any ideas?? Thanks for you help, Laetitia.
