On MacOSX, my workaround for the white-on-white behavior of
IronPython+Mono on Apple's Terminal was to try other terminal emulators
-- Terminator worked fine (display-wise).  But the editing remains off,
so I'll be glad to try the suggested workaround (if and when
sparcs.kaist.ac.kr responds...:-).
