I'm using Win XP and VisualC++ .net (7.0).

This is an interesting news... can you take me more detail, please?
There is ad autmatic readline-like support in io:read() if I use cmd.exe?

In VC++ there is a library that do it.
Why I want user GNU readline? My problem is that I would like make a multiplatform code if is possible. If the support readline was enbeded in Lua, it was immediate. Otherwise, I must write more code or... or develop in gcc and compile by cygwin :)
matteo!
