Yeah, I think that's the behaviour I've seen from other packages. When built without readline, they just leave the tty in cooked mode, so a line of input becomes read(2)able when the user presses return. I guess cfdisk already has an arrow-key driven UI, so the wrapper for readline (that compiles to a fallback #ifndef HAVE_READLINE) would have to put the tty in/out of cooked mode. -- #define X(x,y) x##y Peter Cordes ; e-mail: X(peter@cor , des.ca) "The gods confound the man who first found out how to distinguish the hours!
