[R] Using vi syntax in command line editing.

[Rolf Turner]

I have recently acquired a new laptop.  (My old one was giving me
ominous messages on boot-up, about possible hard drive problems.)

I want to get everything running "just as it was" on the old laptop (So
that I can stay in my comfort zone).  In particular, I would like to
do command line editing with vi syntax, which is what I am used to.

I cannot for the life of me remember how I told R to use vi syntax on
my old laptop.  I am sure it was very simple.  A web search led me to
advice that this had to be do be done by installing some "plugins"
(???), but I am certain that stuff like that was not necessary.

Can anyone refesh my aging memory?  Thanks.

cheers,

Rolf Turner
