Briefly, you have to re-build R with readline support.
I don't have the exact details at my fingertips, but I downloaded the
readline libraries from the web, put them somewhere, and then named
the location in R's config.site file. Or you can put them somewhere in
the OS's standard search path for libraries. Either way, if R finds
them during configure, it will compile R with support for editing the
command line.
For me,
R[23]% ls local/lib/libread*
local/lib/libreadline.a local/lib/libreadline.so.4
I believe that the file I downloaded from the web was named
readline-4.2-sol7-sparc-local.gz
Or just install binaries from www.sunfreeware.com. (They have a rather nice pkg-get mechanism).
