First, I apologize if my exposition was not clear, because I have been using 
vi-style commands (see below what I mean by vi-style) in R well before 1.0.0.

Second, I have to report that I solved my problem this morning... Here's a 
briefing:

although .bashrc reads
set -o vi
my .inputrc file, reading

anovo at friedman anovo > cat .inputrc 
set editing-mode vi

was missing (I forgot to copy it to my new $HOME).

Once that's in place, in R-1.2.2 (that I compiled), if I press ESC followed 
by:
(i) j, it scrolls down, 
(ii) / and some text it search R history... 
(iii) ...

Thank you for your time,

Alvaro
