Terminal escape sequence ^[[A

Sorry to ask this here, it is just a terminal question, unrelated to Vim.  I don't subscribe to anything Linux related.

On most of my machines that I ssh into (usually from either a Cygwin Terminal or Putty) and I type a command and hit the up arrow, I get my command back.

When I launch a console application where I can type a command, think an Interactive SQL console application where I would type:
SELECT * FROM T1

Though 2 different servers I connect to which always show ^[[A instead of the previous command and I have to re-type my command.

Yet on other servers, the same program, the up arrow shows the previous command.

Most of my Google searches say TERM is responsible, but xterm and screen I assume are Ok.  Other says to use bash, which I am.

Not really sure what to check for.

If I exit the application and hit the up arrow I get back my command which launched the program.

Anyway, I grab the ENV output hoping this might be enough for someone to give me suggestions.

One of the server is running SUSE Enterprise.

If you can suggest a good place to ask this and work with someone I am all ears.

Thanks,
