For R-1.1.1 on Solaris 7, I can use command line recall/edit by using "Control-P", etc. But R-1.2.0 on Solaris 8, I can not. Is this because the R version or Solaris version? Is there a vi mode for command recall/edit, i.e. Esc-P, etc. PS: I hate to ask questions that has been asked before, but mailing list archive is until 08/28/2000.

If you compile with the GNU readline library you can get command recall and editing using the arrow keys (and other editing features). Without readline I don't have any command recall under Solaris 8 with R1.1.1 -thomas Thomas Lumley Asst.

No. It works here. When you built R, did it find readline in the configure? command line recall depends on it. BTW, you can also use the arrow keys, and most of us do.

Not to my knowledge.
