  21    <p>Often during an interactive session you type in a long line of text,
  22 only to notice that the first word on the line is misspelled.  The
  23 Readline library gives you a set of commands for manipulating the text
  24 as you type it in, allowing you to just fix your typo, and not forcing
  25 you to retype the majority of the line.  Using these editing commands,
  26 you move the cursor to the place that needs correction, and delete or
  27 insert the text of the corrections.  Then, when you are satisfied with
  28 the line, you simply press &lt;RET&gt;.  You do not have to be at the
  29 end of the line to press &lt;RET&gt;; the entire line is accepted
  30 regardless of the location of the cursor within the line.
