HI all, this is somewhat repetitive but I just wanted to make sure as
many people as possible know about this!

Ever wanted to be able to recall more than just the last command in
your IDL history? ever wanted other fancy command line editing
features? Well, it is easy-peasy:

Thanks to Lajos FĂ–LDY's tip you can:
try enhance (http://www.astro.caltech.edu/~mcs/tecla/enhance.html)
from the tecla package (http://www.astro.caltech.edu/~mcs/tecla)

This thing is so great.... try it.

Install libtecla and then run
'enhance idl' in your terminal. Now all the editing power of enhance is
available to you in IDL!!

Thanks to Lajos for telling me about it and Martin Shepherd at Caltech
for maintaining the package!

Gianguido
