Gnome terminal command history problem

Hi

Iam a FreeBSD newbie and have a simple/silly problem.
When I login as a normal user and open a terminal window, the shell command history does not work. If I do a "su" and then try it works. When I exit the su it stops working and throws up garbled characters like ^[[A when I press the up arrow and ^[[B when I press the down arrow.

Any idea what the problem is ?

Regards

Im pretty sure this is a shell issue where you should change it. Some shells have features that others dont, such as history and tab completion. Change your shell.
