Can anyone offer suggestion about getting readline to work on Solaris?
(v1.5.1)

When I use the up arrow or ctrl-p to try to repeat the last command
my session just beeps.

It appears that the .Rhistory file that should appear in my startup
directory
is not being created.

Thanks!

The screen shot below shows cled=TRUE and no .Rhistory file created:

$  /apps/R-1.5.1/bin/R
