I have installed R1.6.2 on a Sun Sparc workstatioin 60 under Solaris 8. I' m using csh, tcsh or bash- shell.

Do you have libreadline installed? Was it found when you configured R? I can't speak for your keyboard, but ESC[A is the `raw' sequence generated by the up-arrow key on an English Sun keyboard, and what you show is what happens if readline is not compiled into R.
