Subject: Re: trip took a wrong turn: dot -i

I've thought about it for a little while and I can't make up my
mind.

Here is my preference: readline should take a file descriptor as
an argument.

Ok, given that that is "impossible", I think the best way out may
be to make the rest of the prompt2 stuff in rc readline- and file-
descriptor-cognisant, i.e., by printing prompt2 if "!readline ||
fd != 0".

It's ugly, but I can rationalize it by saying that it's hiding behind
this grotesque #ifdef READLINE to begin with.

Byron.
