Description-en: Front-end using readline to "cook" input lines for other programs
This tool lets you use history and line-editing in any text oriented
tool. This is especially useful with third-party proprietary tools that
cannot be distributed linked against readline. It is not perfect but it
works pretty well.
.
See the ledit and rlwrap packages for other programs of that kind.
