(Surprised that extensive Googling, read of Racket documentation, and searching the mailing list archive doesn't throw up anything; surely I've missed something? Apologies in advance therefore!)

I notice that although xrepl is loaded by default in command-line racket, and indeed in DrRacket, its commands don't work in DrRacket.

I can't find anything about why this is in DrRacket's documentation, and error messages that mention ",bt" show that xrepl is installed, but don't explain why its commands don't work.

Again, I'm sorry, I feel I must be missing something obvious, but what's going on here?

Also, if I want to use xrepl, is the best option to use racket from the command line for interaction and its ,drracket command for editing?
