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... ("help" for help, "quit" to quit)
info sed

Sed (streams editor) isn't really a true text editor or text  
processor. 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.

For comparison, here's the same exchange with 1.6.0-rc1:
