After reviewing the old code, this is seemingly what it did. The history functions are then used without declaring them. I should probably squeeze a patch for this into 7.0.1. Of course, updating readline to a "sane" version is a valid workaround as well. (And believe me, there are plenty of "insane" versions out there that we already had to put up with.) -- Peter Eisentraut Sernanders väg 10:115 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 75262 Uppsala http://yi.org/peter-e/ Sweden
