  ***** README - pd_readline ***** 
 
-  This repo is for the (eventual) storage of a public-domain  
-readline-and-command-history implementation. 
+ This repo is for the storage of a public-domain  
+readline-and-command-history implementation.  
 
-Update - 26th Aug 2012 - 
+FILES:  
 
-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..... ).  
+pd_readline.c  -  This is a file to test the 
+implementation. Contains the main() function. 
 
-Big breakthrough - the code can now distinguish between 
-normal "printable" keys and keys that should not be 
-printed (e.g. arrow keys, Ctrl sequences and so on).  
+test.txt -  A small text file to test scrolling 
+up and down with. This would be the "history" file 
+in a real readline implementation.  
 
-The next goal is to make the code move the cursor to the 
-left (when left-arrow is pressed) and delete a char (when 
-backspace is pressed). 
 
-Still some way to go to get to a REAL readline, but we are 
-"on the way......"
+Status - 31st Dec 2015 - "sort of works".  
+
+I'm back into doing work on this code. 
+
+I've reverted the code to a much simpler early version. 
+This compiles without errors and allows scrolling up 
+and down through the "test.txt" "dummy history" file. 
+It also allows editing of the command line. 
+However, edits are *not* yet saved in a history file.   
+
+Pressing Enter 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. 
+"Dummy" history (from text.txt) can be recalled from a file with 
+the up-arrow key, and you can scroll up and down 
+through that file using the up and down arrows. 
 
 This code is released to the public domain.
