Tommy replied to me, saying that he did build it with readline support,
but the mainloop() thing worked for him. I just tried it here (after
rebuilding with readline - I always forget that) and the ability to
play with Tk apps interactivly is broken for me, too. This is a major
bummer. Anyone have any ideas what broke? I'm building with readline-2.0.
