well, If I type this command :
   dialog --title "Choose file"  --inputbox "Please input file name:"  8 40
$F 2>/tmp/ans

After it ran, there is no way to edit it again after "up" arrow pressing.

I consider it not normal, but -well, you are the chief :) You decide how you
wish it works. xterm is very useful and the greatest tool ever for X11.

All the best;
Kind regards
