There had been some comments not so long ago about multi-line editting.  I was 
reading up on ipython and came accross some interesting things which will 
make my using of the sage command line more pleasant.  One of these 
is "%edit".  This opens an editor and lets you edit multiple lines in editor 
style with syntax highlighting and the whole nine yards (if your editor does 
that).  The code is then executed immediately when you save & close.

Better yet "%edit -p" recalls your previous editor session and lets you hack 
the code all over again.

There's a slight issue in that this code is not preparsed .... I guess that 
should be fixed?

ipython has a whole set of % "magic" commands which struck me as extremely 
useful.  The documentation is worth a read if you are a commandline junky 
like I am.
