Readline isn't useful when using "cmd.exe" in Windows, because the Windows command shell gives you readline-like functionality automatically. There's a note to that effect before the `install-readline!' example in "More", but maybe it needs to be more clear that readline typically isn't available at all under Windows. So, I think you want to just remove the `readline' loading from your "racketrc.rktl". _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/users
