The main FriCAS executable is designed to be run via line-editing
wrapper pragram.  Normally for commad line editing FriCAS uses its
own wrapper program called 'clef'.  If you want you may use different
wrapper, like 'rlwrap' (which is readline-based):

1) Make a shell script to change calling convention, like:

#!/bin/sh
CFILE=$2
shift 3
exec /full/path/to/rlwrap -f $CFILE "$@"  

2) Type

fricas -clefprog /path/to/wrapper/script
