Two questions: 

   1) Are there keyboard shortcuts available for the command-line interface to 
Mathematica? It would be tremendously nice to be able to copy input from the 
line above (bash uses uparrow to go back through old commands; the front end 
to Mathematica uses Ctrl-L) and things like that;

   2) While trying to answer that question by using the Google, I found the 
following (apparently the source website was updated today, so it wouldn't 
surprise me terribly if the author were to post something about this on this 
group): 
  
  "The record for crashing Mathematica with the smallest graphics command is 
probably this: Plot[1, {x, 0, 1}, Frame->True, FrameLabel->{}]
In version 5.2, this only elicits an error message, whereas version 6 aborts 
lethally."

   This is obviously a bug!
