I don't.  If line editing is important, I use the Emacs inferior-caml
mode.

	I use ledit when I remember, invoked from the command line:

	ledit ocaml

I still forget often though, because I only use the top level
for checking out how Ocaml deals with cases which I 
don't understand: eg.I played a bit recently trying to
figure out how polymorphic variants worked.

Since I can't type very well ( in both senses :-),
I usually quit 'ocaml' when I forget ledit, and start
again using it. Before I had ledit, I avoided using
'ocaml' tool almost completely.

I don't know whether I missed the solution to the question about
invoking ledit in this thread but this is what I get both on xterm and
the console:

-------------------
$ ledit ocaml
Error: standard input is not a terminal
-------------------

Any other solution?

Which ocaml? Did you make some alias for ocaml? Or some shell script calling
the right ocaml command?

If for some reason you can't get ledit to work, you might want to try
"ile" (Input Line Editor) instead:

	Hmm: works for me on both a GNOME terminal,
and also a spawned xterm. (Linux running Enlightenment as the WM).
Try

	tty
	stty -a

to see what device is being used? (stty -a mightn't work on SunOS).

Sorry, i was not able to upload a fixed version of the package these days,
will do today.

Anyway, ocaml was in ledit 1.10-1 a wrapper around the true ocaml, typing
ledit ocaml.real would have fixed your problem. But then i will now remove the
wrapper, and this should no more be a problem.

Friendly,

Sven Luther

Thanks.  It works without a problem using "ile ocaml".

The ocaml toplevel.

$ ocaml

ledit works with rpncalc and it does not produce an error with python
although the behaviour with python is a bit abnormal.
