On the IBM PC the use of a TSR program such as DOSEDIT or CED may be desired for line editing. For such a case GNUPLOT may be compiled with no line editing capability (default makefile setup). Set READLINE in the makefile and add readline.obj to the link file if GNUPLOT line editing is to be used for the IBM PC. The following arrow keys may be used on the IBM PC version if readline is used:
