Thanks again, and may I now make the most of your generosity by asking
another question ? I got an error message when
./configuring postgreSQL, and now I find that I don't have 'history',
and I can't use the 'up' arrow to cycle through previous commands. The
error was about 'readline', I think.

The installation I use is on an iBook, which might sound mad, but I
want a version to be able to take everywhere with me, and learn whilst
on the bus, in the train etc ..

Thanks again.
