| Often during an interactive session you type in a long line of text, |
| only to notice that the first word on the line is misspelled. The |
| Readline library gives you a set of commands for manipulating the text |
| as you type it in, allowing you to just fix your typo, and not forcing |
| you to retype the majority of the line. Using these editing commands, |
| you move the cursor to the place that needs correction, and delete or |
| insert the text of the corrections. Then, when you are satisfied with |
| the line, you simply press <RET>. You do not have to be at the |
| end of the line to press <RET>; the entire line is accepted |
| regardless of the location of the cursor within the line. |
