I am running it under several versions of Unix (SunOS, System V, BSD 4.3), and they all have the same common problem. They don't show the current level of nesting. The reader (the thing that shows the prompt) has been disconnected from the parser (the thing that knows what the current level of nesting is). This has cleaned up the code considerably, and has been very useful to me. The only thing is that the reader now no longer knows what the current level of nesting is. I think this happened in version 2.0, but I'm not sure.
