There is a "rlwrap" thing that can be used to enwrap many programs with the readline library. I would not know in how far this works for a program that fully manages the terminal (lynx here links against ncurses), but once a user pointed another user who asked for line editor capabilities of the MUA i maintain to that; i tried it, and it worked really well (readline, in the end). (I had to look how much we were fiddling with the terminal ourselves already by then.) --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
