Ah, now I get it!  Thanks Daniel!

BTW: what are readline's parameters?  ri don't seem to know about this

     too.

I have not tried his example because I assumed the library could not be
loaded.  I was confused by the fact that "require 'readline'" returns
"false".  Isn't require supposed to return "true" if successful?
