I recall having a similar problem a while back, and it turned out
that it was due to command line editing not being available. This in
turn was due to a problem with the readline package. I think we had
a flakey version (obtained as a Sun package?) and when we got another
version (from GNU?) and installed it --- and then rebuilt R ---
command line editing (and savehistory()) worked fine.
Sorry to be vague, but I don't have good records of what went
on, and it was a couple of years ago.
Check on command line editing first --- in R execute
capabilities()
and if ``cledit'' turns out to be FALSE, then readline is probably
your problem. Peter Dalgaard may be able to give you better insight
as to how to fix it.
cheers,
Rolf Turner
