[IPython-user] $ and $$ direct capture not working

[Matt Wilkie]

Hello,

I just downloaded and installed the latest and greatest ipy, v0.7.3
for win32, and when I try and use the $ or $$ capture commands as
described in the manual
(http://ipython.scipy.org/doc/manual/node12.html) I get the error
message below. This was an upgrade from v0.7.2, which I didn't
uninstall first. Maybe that wasn't such a great idea?

Python 2.3.5 (#62, Feb  8 2005, 16:23:02) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)]
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

?       -> Introduction to IPython's features.
%magic  -> Information about IPython's 'magic' % functions.
help    -> Python's own help system.
object? -> Details about 'object'. ?object also works, ?? prints more.
