Yes, that sounds like a good subject for an advanced chapter.

Subject: [FM Discuss] Andy's concerns about my new chapter in CommandLineIntro

It would be going pretty far afield to attempt to discuss all the programs 
that use command lines. The focus of my chapter is not such a program, but 
how to make one. The program presented there is really much too trivial to 
be useful except as an example showing how to call readline, how to save 
and recall command lines, how to process them, and how to make and use 
command files. This is all stuff that took me some time to discover when I 
was starting it.
