[R] Vi mode in Linux console - how to stop it ?

Hi,

When I am editing a command using default R console in Linux, sometimes it
is going into "vi mode"...not too sure how/why this happening.  It then
requires me to use vi commands to edit the line, which is very frustrating
when I just want to use the delete key instead of "x" to delete a character.

How do I turn this off ?

Thanks,
Chris
