Dear all, I am using gnome-terminal to run R, and I noticed that standard PageUp/Down do not work but they do work for other programs within the same terminal window (e.g. irssi). Scroll bar does not work either. I run R using GNU-screen, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Many thanks Olga ------------------ R version 2.11.1 (2010-05-31) 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS

I do not have any desktop environment (running R on a server), can I still try xfce? Thanks Olga

If you are running gnome-terminal, I assume that you have a running X session and some sort of graphical environment. If this is so, installing and running xfce4-terminal should be straightforward (on Debian/Ubuntu [1] use apt-get) since it requires very few Xfce dependencies.
