E.g. #|kawa:1|# (read) #|kawa:2|# abc abc #|kawa:2|# Despite that the prompt in line two is confusing, the line number in the third prompt seems wrong. I would expect that read works basically like read-line, which doesn't prompt: #|kawa:3|# (read-line) abc "abc" #|kawa:5|# Is there an easy way to disable the prompting in read? Helmut
