The repl is missing a lot of things a modern command line should have - history, line editing, autocompletion, etc. The already mentioned rlwrap can provide all of those. However, most of the writeups on the web just use it, without noticing that the syntax can be adjusted, and defaults to C-like syntax. I generally fixed that by using --quote-chars='"' and --complete-filenames (the latter removes / and . from the default set of break characters, which may be why I haven't seen problems with the prompt color). The other break chars just tweak autocompletion and word erase a little, so I haven't really fooled with those. <mike -- Mike Meyer <m...@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information.
