Oh? I thought it did. It's been a while, but I thought *something* was b0rken. Perhaps not? > And neither libreadline nor rlwrap break help in my case, or > which help are you referring to?

When using `less', using arrow keys or doing anything at all requires you to press enter when you finish, so that less gets its command. Ah, I see now -- I supply "-a" to rlwrap. I had to do this because otherwise completion wasn't working at all, even with "-c". With "-a", it works, just it refuses to complete a filename if surrounded by a single quote, as gnuplot requires (although double quote works). I found rlwrap also gets vastly confused when you present long lines to it (printing multiple lines using multiple input files, etc), and only has a very small history buffer. Yes, I am supplying "-s 300000" to it. I'll now give ledit a try... -- TimC Warning: No foo present.
