Subject: IRB: Arrow keys not working (neither Insert, home, etc)

Hello,

  I have Ruby 1.8.5 installed in Ubuntu 6.06 (Kernel: 2.6.15-27-686 )
IRB works fine with special characters (like accented a, and tilded n)
but the arrow keys produce the following input:

   Up: ^[[A
   Right: ^[[C
   Down: ^[[B
   Left: ^[[D

   The other special keys: Insert, Home, Prev Page, Del, End and Nex
Page produce similar results.
