Subject: Use in-buffer prompt to handle errors in the REPL buffer.  The
X-Git-Tag: 20090517-FFI~4791
X-Git-Url: https://birchwood-abbey.net/git?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9b93dd78c890801c0009bac168a7edcf9dba6f82;p=mit-scheme.git

Use in-buffer prompt to handle errors in the REPL buffer.  The
modeline prompt was very intrusive and couldn't be aborted out of.
The new mechanism reads input exactly as the in-buffer debugger does,
and can be aborted.
