hi! All: I can do up or down arrow on keyboard to browse through command history on R console in windows. However, I can't do that on a linux xterm or console... I wonder how to make this feature work on linux... it will make working a lot more efficient... Thanks Hao
You are most likely missing the readline library and/or the readline 'devel' files, depending upon how you installed R. See R FAQ 7.20 How can I get command line editing to work? http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#How-can-I-get-command-line-editing-to-work_003f Additional information is available in the R Installation/Administration Manual with your system or in HTML here: http://cran.us.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html HTH, Marc Schwartz
