3 I have been searching for a scheme interpreter that has readline support (at
4 least I think it is readline support) whereby I could have a sort of
5 expression history where I could use the up arrow or whatever for access to
6 previous expressions and also use the left arrow to edit the current
7 expression if I make a boo-boo. Sort of like the embedded python interpreter
8 or Ruby's irb...

10 I have tried mzscheme, chicken, and guile so far, and none seem to have this.
11 I am also aware of environments such as drscheme, but I really just want a
12 simple console interpreter.
13
14 I thought I would ask here rather than installing and trying all ~25
15 interpreters in dev-scheme
16
17 Thanks,
