Now, I said I couldn't think of a way to do it - not that it wasn't possible :-) If you don't need you program to be portable you can use extensions - in this case I would expect you need readline for windows, and ctypes (because readline for windows needs ctypes). You can fetch readline from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=82407 and ctypes from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=71702 I can't promise these will work (all my python has to be 'pure' and cross platform so I've never used readline or rlcompleter) but functions like insert_text look to be in the right area for what (I think) you want. Good luck! Keir. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
