Thanks.  Worked like a charm.  Like others I noticed the apparent
performance drop.  I presume that's more a comment on the state of
optimization in Mono than on IronPython itself.

One thing I did find especially annoying though was that none of the editing
keys worked.  DELETE, BACKSPACE, Ctrl-U.  All just inserted themselves.
Ctrl-D didn't exit.  (I had to "raise SystemExit" to exit.)

Is this a known problem?  Is it a Mono thing or an IronPython thing?  Any
workaround?

Thx,
