That works now, mostly. I've read everything I can find on it, but can't find documentation of the main feature I'm interested in, i.e. pre-loading the buffer with text. It works, I just don't see it documented. Also, is addHistory() supposed to retain history *between* runs? i.e. store it in a file somewhere? If not, what's the "progname" part for? Thanks!
