Re: [Gnuplot-info] erratic key stroke response in gnuplot

 It sounds to me as if your version of gnuplot is not compiled with
readline support.  readline is the library which is responsible for all
the nice editing features, including the history and the key bindings.

Did you compile gnuplot yourself?
