Easiest is just to put a newline at the end of each function key string
but that makes it pretty terminal specific.
Then, there is MINICURSES, which is a subset of curses and doesn't add that
much to your executable. It is much too much of a hassle to go to raw mode
and not have terminal strings interpeted for you. Really! You'd have to
all the processing for backspaces, interrupts, etc.
