That's not half of it. Without readline, no editing other than backspacing (and deleting) previously entered content is possible. While of course it is important to try different variations of commands without typing them all over (particularly when typos may be involved), not even being able to correct a typo before hitting RET is a real nuisance. -- David Kastrup
