OK, I'll try that later. As an additional data point, running sh.exe from within cmd.exe also gives a functional readline environment. So either there are local difficulties with some people, or psql is not using readline as well as it could. In any case, there is still hope for readline on Windows. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
