Installed, built rash-repl.exe 32-bit.

%file C:/Users/x/AppData/Roaming/Racket/8.0-bc/rash-repl.exe
C:/Users/x/AppData/Roaming/Racket/8.0-bc/rash-repl.exe: PE32 executable (console) Intel 80386 (stripped to external PDB), for MS Windows

It first looks for libedit-3.dll

%C:/Users/x/AppData/Roaming/Racket/8.0-bc/rash-repl.exe
ffi-lib: couldn't open "libedit-3.dll" (The specified module cannot be found; errid=126)

Instead of trying to use libedit-3.dll, let's install the readline
package and try to give it the 32-bit libreadline-5.dll.

%raco pkg install readline-gpl

   "c:\sys\emacs.27-mingw.64\usr\Racket8-32bit\share\pkgs\readline-lib\readline\rktrl.rkt": [running body]
%

Let's go in the directory and place the right library, right version.

%file C:/Users/x/AppData/Roaming/Racket/8.0-bc/libreadline-5.dll

You can use the `help` line macro to get help about topics.
(To turn these hints off, run (current-repl-display-startup-hints? #f) in a rashrc file.)
help
This is a help macro!
It should be helpful, but currently isn't.
I want it to eventually check if things that are asked about are bound and then link automatically to the docs (in a browser configured by the user -- including possibly some text-mode browser), and if things are not bound automatically search for the man page or info page.  Maybe it could have some key words or flag arguments to make it run in different modes.  Modes could include a shell-programming tutorial, overviews of various Rash concepts, etc.  Maybe these should just link to web pages...  Anyway, this macro should be helpful.  But right now it's not.  Try running `raco docs` or something instead.

It works!  I really appreciate the assitance.  Thank you!

(Apparently this binary does not need history5.dll.)

If it ever did, it doesn't anymore.
