[ecl-readline-devel] Not working in ECL 9.4 / 9.4.1

[Andrew Kirkpatrick]

Hi,

Has anyone managed to get ecl-readline 0.2.0 working in ECL 9.4/9.4.1?
It installs and compiles OK, but then it only works in when at a break; 
at the top level no prompts are displayed, arrow keys just print escape 
codes and so there is no history functionality.

I've done a bit of debugging and found that the prompt function is being
called for each line, but readline isn't when at the top level, and its 
there that the *prompt* variable is passed to rl-readline for display.

The readline function is called from ensure-stream-data, and I've 
determined that isn't being called when ECL starts up and prints "Type 
:h for Help.  Top level."

Thanks for any help with this.
Cheers,
Andy
