Readline and Libedit Options
****************************
GNU `bc' can be compiled (via a configure option) to use the GNU
`readline' input editor library or the BSD `libedit' library. This
allows the user to do more editing of lines before sending them to
`bc'. It also allows for a history of previous lines typed. When this
option is selected, `bc' has one more special variable. This special
variable, HISTORY is the number of lines of history retained. A value
of -1 means that an unlimited number of history lines are retained.
This is the default value. Setting the value of HISTORY to a positive
number restricts the number of history lines to the number given. The
value of 0 disables the history feature. For more information, read
the user manuals for the GNU `readline', `history' and BSD `libedit'
libraries. One can not enable both `readline' and `libedit' at the
same time.
