Add a class _CommandInput that implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and execute commands.

Notes for Windows Users
=======================
These are just minimal notes. The manual contains more detailed
information.
Requirements
------------
IPython runs under (as far as the Windows family is concerned):
- Windows XP, 2000 (and probably WinNT): works well. It needs:
* PyWin32, the win32 Python extensions from
http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond.
* Gary Bishop's readline from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/uncpythontools.
* This in turn requires Tomas Heller's ctypes from
http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/ctypes.
- Windows 95/98/ME: I have no idea. It should work, but I can't test.
- CygWin environments should work, they are basically Posix.
It needs Python 2.3 or newer.
Installation
------------
Double-click the supplied .exe installer file. If all goes well, that's all
you need to do. You should now have an IPython entry in your Start Menu.
Installation from source distribution
-------------------------------------
In case the automatic installer does not work for some reason, you can
download the ipython-XXX.tar.gz file, which contains the full IPython source
distribution (the popular WinZip can read .tar.gz files).
After uncompressing the archive, you can install it at a command terminal just
like any other Python module, by using python setup.py install'. After this
completes, you can run the supplied win32_manual_post_install.py script which
will add the relevant shortcuts to your startup menu.
Optionally, you may skip installation altogether and just launch "ipython.py"
from the root folder of the extracted source distribution.
