[Pythonmac-SIG] UpArrow for previous command

[George Wright]

On my old imac when working interactively with python in 'Terminal' I  
could get previous commands by hitting up arrow (or down arrow). I  
can't remember how I set that up and I have been unable to get the  
same feature on my newer iMac g5. Have searched message archives  
without success. Hitting uparrow just prints ^[[A which makes a mess  
you have to delete.
Would appreciate some help.
