maybe you have a different readline in your image? Probably

Just a wild guess.
[Apologies for delayed acknowledgement.]
It's not possible. The colon in the command line:
pop11 :"readline()=>1 + 1"
or, equivalently,
pop11 ":readline()=>1 + 1"
tells pop11 that it has to treat the quoted string as pop11
code, exactly
as if it had been typed in after pop11 started up -- except for
some
setup differences due to occurring in the command line.
To invoke something outside poplog you'd need sysobey, e.g.
: sysobey('date');

Anyhow, there's no readline in my $PATH that could be picked up
in error.
And there's no emacs within poplog unless you explicitly use
Brian Logan's
emacs addon, provided for people who don't want to learn to use
Ved.
$usepop/pop/packages/emacs
Which I don't use: ved is now burnt into my brain (though age is
producing
gaps...)
Oh, I do understand that :-)
I was talking about the emacsreadline in
'pop/lib/lib/emacsreadline.p'.
It is linked into the image in e.g. 'pop/com/mkstartup.bham'.
I was just suggesting this might be the source of differernt
behaviour.
