Thanks for all of the replies.
Zhenya, history-next/prev was the key. Excellent! Now I can work happily. Thanks very much.
I noticed that caml-list emails have reply-to set to the person who posted. Is it the convention to reply off-list for most followups of this kind?
(Francois, I checked and ^P and ^N actually are the Emacs previous/next line keys in my vanilla Emacs—it wasn’t just my fingers that thought so! Meta-P and Meta-N are unbound. (I have to use the uber-traditional Esc- prefix to get Meta, as Alt- and Apple- do other things by default for me.))
(Tao: Yeah, lately Apple sometimes seems to have a “if it’s not broken and is better than anything else, let’s mess it up” attitude. I think the X is supposed to be Roman numeral 10, so maybe Apple is planning to increment X and doesn’t like "OSXI".)

According to what ‘man lambda-term-inputrc' and ‘lambda-term-actions’ say, it seems to me that I ought to be able to get this behavior by putting the following in .lambda-term-inputrc in my home directory:
