Without having read the dialog to know what you mean by appropriate, and how a new patch would be different from Roger's 5 year old patch, or how this issue relates toSqueezer, yes. I have occasionally closed the shell and reopened (perhaps by running a file) to clear the shell. I would like to reduce the need for that by putting help output in a separate read-only output window. But there is still the occasional 2000 line traceback for hitting the recursion limit, and other mishaps.
