  13. I've been using the GNU readline library for my core Tcl shells.
  14. It works just fine. However, I can't figure out how to get readline
  15. working seamlessly with Tk. Since the Tk file handler mechanism
  16. ends up buffering stdin a line at a time, I can't get the readline
  17. library to read stdin interactively. There's probably something
  18. I can do with FNDELAY to resolve the problem, but I've had other
  19. priorities...
