I am using SRA's Win32 port here on XP, and it doesn't use readline. It does have arrow handling for psql, but does not do Control-A/E handling, nor keep the history between psql invocations. I assume this is what the limited command-line handling they are talking about. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
