+  This repo is for the storage of a public-domain  
 readline-and-command-history implementation. 
 
+Update - 5th Sep 2012 - 
+
+Almost there!  
+The code now "pretty much" works as expected. 
+( However, pressing Enter exits the program rather 
+than storing the existing command-line and "staying 
+in the program". I hope to fix this soon. )   
+
+You can edit a command-line (using backspace). 
+You can move around with left and right-arrow 
+keys. 
+Command-history can be recalled from a file with 
+the up-arrow key, and you can scroll up and down 
+through the command-history. 
+
+*** CAUTION! *** - There is, however, an occasional 
+problem with "stack-smashing". 
+
+
+This code is released to the public domain.  
+"Share and enjoy........ ;)  "
