Re: use of arrow keys to traverse history

I am finding that I can't use the cursor keys at all in psql after I
upgraded to v7.1. I have installed v7.1 on redhat 7.1, mandrake 7.2,
redhat 6.2 and none of them allow me to use the cursors keys, where as
v7.0.3 did. I haven't changed anything on the system except upgrade
postgresql to v7.1. Any ideas?

Thanks.
