I think there must be a little bug in the latest version as I
too have had same problem after installing the latest R-1.1.0
on windows NT this morning. The problem only occurs in the
GUI version and not in the text-only windows version. Can
anything be done about this?

Thanks.

Gary.

Hm. Works fine here on NT4.0, SP6.

Try to start R with --vanilla and in "clean" working directory ...

Certainly worth a try.  Last time this sort of thing happened (printing
failed on a few systems) the bug was not in R but in other software
installed on the system, which can make this almost impossible to
reproduce.

Let me repeat what I originally said could be done:

Apart from that, please provide as much information as possible. Do the
other arrow keys work?  Does Ctrl+P work?  (If so, that's your solution.)
Do PgUp, PgDn, Home, End work?

I can see nothing that has changed since rw1001 in this area, except
the compilers used (and hence the header files used).  There are no
problems on any of our several test systems.

I am not sure the rest of R-help wants to know all the details, so please
send the detailed information to Guido cc me.

Try delete/uninstall THEN install it again.  That's what I tried and it
worked...but I did [physically] deleted the whole R1.1.0 (i.e. C:\rw1010\)
before I reinstall.

If it doesn't work maybe re-downloading it?  I don't know....

Cheers,

Hi there,

I've just downloaded R 1.1.0 for Windows 98. I don't know

if some weird

problem occurred in the installation or it is some bug in

the GUI

version, but somehow the "up-arrow" key does not work! In

other words,

if I type some commands, I cannot use the up-arrow key to

browse the

previous commands typed (can do this in the previous R

version)!

That is certainly not intentional, and it works here on the

binaries

downloaded from CRAN (on 98 and NT).

There is very little we can do to help unless this is a

common problem

and we can find the pattern. All I can suggest is that you

try compiling

from source and do some debugging on your own machine.
