Thanks robert,

I have seen readline but i dont quite understand how to implement the 
"?" and "tab" functions.
there is an autocomplition proc something there but it so unclear 
because it uses the last word which i dont want to..
i want to look at the whole "line"...

if you have some expirence ou can share with me about it i will be very 
happy.

Thanks,
Eliezer
