There's the cle package: Package: cle Version: 0.4-1 Filename: dists/woody/main/binary-i386/libs/cle_0.4-1.deb Description: Wrap any command-line driven tool with readline This handy tool lets you use history and line-editing in any text oriented tool. This is especially usefully with third-party commercial tools that cannot be modified to use readline themselves. It's not perfect but it works pretty well. Is that the sort of thing you're looking for? -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
