FWIW the windows prompt does the same thing once you switch off
the "DOS compatibility" mode. There's not that much difference between a bash prompt and a Windows prompt in functionality, just bash has more commands available... But that's completely beside the point of how IDLE's prompt should behave. :-)

My personal preference is the way PyShell works in the wxPython bundle.
If it weren't such a CPU hog I'd probably use PyShell as my standard Python shell window. But I'd like to see IDLE work that way because unlike wxPython its part of the standard download.
