UsRs, When accessing help by typing, for example,> ?read.tablethe up and down keys do no longer scroll the help page. The page-up and page-down keys also do not work any longer. I can scroll down by pressing the d key, but I cannot scroll up by pressing the b key (although it should work according to the text displayed when you press the h key). I'm not sure whether this question is Fedora-specific, but since this list is most close to my configuration I first would like to know if this can be replicated (or maybe I'm missing something obvious). Below is more information on my computer. Thanks, Michael I'm running F15 and R is from the Fedora repos.> sessionInfo()R version 2.13.1 (2011-07-08) Platform: x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu (64-bit) locale: [1] LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 LC_NUMERIC=C [3] LC_TIME=en_US.utf8 LC_COLLATE=en_US.utf8 [5] LC_MONETARY=C LC_MESSAGES=en_US.utf8 [7] LC_PAPER=en_US.utf8 LC_NAME=C [9] LC_ADDRESS=C LC_TELEPHONE=C [11] LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.utf8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=C attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] tools_2.13.1> Sys.getlocale()[1] "LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=en_US.utf8;LC_COLLATE=en_US.utf8;LC_MONETARY=C;LC_MESSAGES=en_US.utf8;LC_PAPER=en_US.utf8;LC_NAME=C;LC_ADDRESS=C;LC_TELEPHONE=C;LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.utf8;LC_IDENTIFICATION=C"

You can see this by looking at /usr/lib[64]/R/etc/Renviron, specifically, the "PAGER" variable. If you wanted to switch to a pager that supports up-down scrolling, switch it to /usr/bin/less. ~tom =Fedora Project
