Well, Peter, I indeed changed the system magically but yet it was not Windows, but Python! In my description I told You that I installed IPython and IPython requires the readline package. If I rename the readline package ( e.g. _readline ) in the site-packages directory the console behaves as expected. Otherwise it shows the termination behaviour of IPython namely it shuts down with Ctrl-D. It's really sucking... Kay -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
