That works now, mostly.
I've read everything I can find on it, but can't find documentation of the
main feature I'm interested in, i.e. pre-loading the buffer with text. It
works, I just don't see it documented.
Also, is addHistory() supposed to retain history *between* runs? i.e. store
it in a file somewhere? If not, what's the "progname" part for?
Thanks! Neat stuff.
