Subject: tclsh, wish: am missing editable command line via libreadline - DN [1]

andreas@klemm.gtn.com (Andreas Klemm) - 20 Mar 2000 - comp.lang.tcl

 Hi !

 Does somebody had time and demand to think about adding hooks
 for libreadline in tclsh ?

 I'd like to have an editable commandline interface, when trying
 out things in tclsh.

 Many tools are using libreadline, even "bc" and "dc".
 Getting a "standard" editable command line interface saves you time.

 Any ideas how to implement this ?

 If you want to see how to implement this, you can create/get cvs
 diffs from FreeBSDs "bc" utility via cgi script which shows you,
 what changes have been necessary to get it work.

 If somebody has the time and interest I could create thos diffs
 and send it to you in e-mail.

 BTW, does somebody have the e-mail address from John Ousterhout ?
 Is he reading this newsgroup ?
