Readline and multiline input

Hi all,

I enjoy using the java readline library to edit my command history.
However when I use the readline console instead of the builtin
console, I can no longer enter commands such as while loops that span
multiple lines.

For example:

        Jython 2.1 on java1.4.1 (JIT: null)
        Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
        >>> (I press enter)
        Traceback (innermost last):
          File "<console>", line 1, in ?
        NameError: null
        >>> for i in range(10):
        ...    print i
        ... (I press enter)
        Traceback (innermost last):
          (no code object) at line 0
          File "<console>", line 3
                   null
                   ^
        SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Is it possible to get both readline and while loops working at
the interactive command prompt?

I'm using Jython 2.1 and libreadline-java 0.7.3, with Sun's JDK 1.4.1.

Thanks,
--Tessa
