Under rc-1.2 with or without readline if I hit the key for SIGINT it aborted the current input line. This was good and righteous and all that. Under rc-1.3 with readline it no longer seemed to work right. Since 1.3 had signal handling (and other) problems it was hard to be sure what the trouble was. Under rc-1.4beta without readline SIGINT works as expected/desired and aborts the line. With readline the line doesn't get executed, but it doesn't get cleared or quit either and further input is accepted but not executed. Furthermore if signal handling in readline is disabled the key loses it's meaning as SIGINT! (This is strictly readlines "fault") While I can live with this, it is rather unaesthetic and just plain bugs me. Any clues? Tom
