	Really?

	Where?

	Your's is the first occurrence I've seen in since I started with Python
(v1.3 or v1.4 -- on an Amiga).

	From a command shell? "Restart" is <kill process><up-arrow><return>

	Now, if you mean you want to wipe out any stuff defined in an
INTERACTIVE session -- then no... Since interactive sessions are really
just a convenience for testing stuff, and the real program should be a file
that is run from a command line...
