So where do you run it when not in an xterm?
I suspect it's a terminfo/termcaps (terminal behavior, and I can never
recall which is being used) problem, not an R problem. You might try
resetting the terminal prior to running R, i.e.
TERM=vt100 ; export TERM
from sh/bash/ksh, or
setenv TERM vt100
from csh/tcsh etc.
These are suggestions, not guaranteed to work. You probably want to
use
env
to check what your initial TERM setting is.
