Rob:
I find slightly annoying the need to insert a whitespace character in a file
that has to be read by means of get(), because to create such a file you
would need two instructions for each object, namely:

print(file, object)
puts(file, "\n") (or puts(file, " ") )

Maybe there is an alternative to this that I don't know.

Another subject:
I'm having problems with the function check_break(). When I use it in the
attached stripped down version of one of my programs, and I type ^C, no
message is printed in spite that ^C appears on the screen. Moreover, if I
type ^2 (that I don't know why it behaves similarly to ^C), two ^C are
printed on the screen the first time, and the message appears the second
time. Then, while typing ^2, it cycles between these two outputs.
