I saw that *someone* had downloaded it from a *.reston1.va.home.com

the core to allow a sufficiently enterprising user to replace readline
with it.

I would recommend not wasting any more time on the naming
issue. (This is a recurring theme in my posts -- remember, I spent
about 0.3 microseconds thinking about whether "Python" would be a
