Title: SQLPlus command history with arrow keys

Hi,

We've just installed an Oracle client on our Redhat v7.3 box….our servers are NT boxes, but automation and scripting are so much easier to do on the Linux side.  One thing we're missing is the convenient up-arrow and down-arrow command line history recall at the SQL*Plus prompt.  All we get is control characters (like  ^[[A) if we hit an arrow.

The SQL*Plus is Release 8.1.7.0.0.  - the server is at 8.7.1.1.

Are the keyboard mappings messed up, or do we need to configure something else to enable stepping through all the previous commands we've run in a particular SQL*Plus session?  I've had little luck searching Metalink and using Google, and would appreciate any input.

Thanks in advance,
Julie Myhre
