Hi Camm,
Turning readline off did the job, but my test machine croaked just after I checked that so until I get it up and running, I won't be able to check further. Until then, I'm back to my Win32 box.
Best,
_don

Greetings! Can you please:
1) Try (si::readline-off)
2) Send me your TERM and related environment variables, and perhaps

GCL has not figured out that you are not in a realine-capable
