That isn't the right question, it turns out. 21 is the length of the `scheme@(guile-user)> ' prompt. We need to set the output port column to 0 after printing a prompt. In the readline case it's different because readline is the part that prints the prompt. Fixed in stable-2.0. Thanks for the report, Andy -- http://wingolog.org/
