I used to compile the command-line client using GNU readline so that the arrow keys would work. But a lot of users complained that readline didn't work on their systems because their system didn't have the right libraries installed. And in fact, when I recently upgraded to SuSE 9.2 (from RedHat 7.2) I found that SuSE is missing GNU readline. (SuSE is missing a lot of other stuff too, I've found.) So my latest builds do not have readline support. If somebody can suggest a simple readline facility that can be statically linked and which is easy to support, I be happy to start using it.
The NetBSD version of libedit supports libreadline compat. There's a portable version at http://www.thrysoee.dk/editline/
