Subject: xgetline.in: Turn on mnemonics in the prompt label.
X-Git-Tag: 1.4.2~1
X-Git-Url: https://git.distorted.org.uk/~mdw/xtoys/commitdiff_plain/583efdd398e53f1c84dd6591b73d044a10bd6a85

xgetline.in: Turn on mnemonics in the prompt label.

Now if your prompt contains an underscore, it'll look weird.  Nobody's
doing that, right?
