[Boa Constr] Shell enhancements

[Patrick K. O'B. <po...@or...>]

When I am in the shell, how do I reexecute a previous command? In other
shells you can go to a previous line and hit return and that line gets
copied down to the lowest prompt, then you can hit return again and it is
executed. I'm rather in the habit of doing this while experimenting with
things interactively. Is there a way to get the same behavior with boa? In
addition, IDLE has Alt-p and Alt-n to retrieve commands and Alt-/ to expand
words. PythonWin shares some of these same conventions. While it doesn't
have Alt-p or Alt-n it does allow you to hit return on previous lines and do
Alt-/ to expand words.

>From the IDLE help file:

Python Shell window:

	^C interrupts executing command
	^D sends end-of-file; closes window if typed at >>> prompt

    Command history:

	Alt-p retrieves previous command matching what you have typed
	Alt-n retrieves next
	Return while on any previous command retrieves that command
	Alt-/ (Expand word) is also useful here
