-Very useful progress.  
-Keystroke sequences are now stored in an array of structs. 
-This makes it VERY easy to see the various special flags 
-in a keystroke sequence 
-(e.g. Esc, Ctrl, Alt and so on..... ).  
+Almost there!  
+The code now pretty much works as expected. 
 
-Still some way to go to get to a REAL readline, but we are 
-"on the way......"
+It looks like the stack-smash problem has now 
+been fixed. I've give the code a pretty good 
+hammering and it didn't give me problems. 
+
+Pressing Enter still exits the program rather 
+than storing the existing command-line and "staying 
+in the program". I hope to change 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. 
 
 This code is released to the public domain.
