This hasn't changed since 1.4: `-i' only works as documented if you
don't use readline or editline.  I guess this is a bug, although I
haven't thought about it much.

(The trip failure is documented in the README file, for what it's
worth.)

rc-1.5b2 was purely an autoconfiscation of rc-1.5betadev-1; I didn't
include any patches that had gone to the list.  This was the quickest
way for me to get on top of the project.

OK, I've got that, and will have a look at it.

Thanks,

Tim.
