Hi, I have installed R1.6.2 on a Sun Sparc workstatioin 60 under Solaris 8. I' m using csh, tcsh or bash- shell. Unfortunately, it is impossible to use the "arrow-up" key on Sun's German keyboard to repeat a R command by using this key. Always following syntax error occurs: ^[[A Does anybody have a hint ?

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. -- Brian D.

You may not have the readline library installed. This is discussed in the installation notes. Whether this is the problem, I do not know. Jon
