And while we're at it, I just created an rc2 tag for 1.6.0, differing from rc1 only in James' turning readline support into an optional configuration (r31139-31139 and merged into the release_1_6 branch in r31190) and in the Tcl cd command hiding reversion thing (r31193 only in the release_1_6 branch). Every developer/committer should reinstall MacPorts off this tag and test as extensively as possible!
Apparently the lack of readline is making interactive mode very strange. Note how the prompt doesn't appear until after the thing I typed. $ port MacPorts 1.600 Entering interactive mode...

Instead, it is used to filter text, i.e., it takes text input and performs some operation (or set of operations) on it and outputs the modified text. Sed is typically used for extracting part of a file using pattern matching or substituting multiple occurances of a string within a file.
