shell retrieve history (up arrow) not working

[Marty Landman]

I have a 4.8 installation with a root account and one user account. The root
account up-arrow history retrieve feature works fine, while on my user
account it doesn't, displaying instead

$ ^[[A^[[C^[[B^[[D

when I press the arrow keys in order (up, right, down, left)

What is missing to have the shell interpret these keys? I notice that when
on the user acct entering the Mysql cmd shell retrieve does work buy not on
the 'main' shell.

Here are the dir contents for each account:
