+cat << EOF
+rlfe (ReadLine Front-End) is a "universal wrapper" around readline.
+
+You specify an interactive program to run (typically a shell), and readline is
+used to edit input lines.
+
+There are other such front-ends; what distinguishes this one is that it monitors
+the state of the inferior pty, and if the inferior program switches its terminal
+to raw mode, then rlfe passes your characters through directly. This basically
+means you can run your entire session (including bash and terminal-mode emacs)
+under rlfe.
