I'll send along a better patch for consideration soon.
364 days later... here's a patch that I think correctly adds readline
support to whatnowproc... some advice please...
(1) Is it really safe to wedge this in everywhere like Peter Maydell
asked for back on 12/21/2010??
(2) What's the nmh native way to do...
char *dupstr (char *s) {
char *r;
r = xmalloc (strlen (s) + 1);
strcpy (r, s);
return (r);
}
?
(3) I'm not exactly sure why there are parens in some of the option syntax
listings like "(de)tach [-n]". I suspect they're indicating "de" is acceptable
(in a non-readline-world), and thus this code (in a readlin eworld) should
remove the parens?
(4) I'm not motivated to also auto-complete switches. Perhaps that's okay.
Perhaps someone else can add that.
