But I don't always want to have to type Return all the time, and
I also think that the kernel recognising \b as a special character is
a disgusting hack. If we are supposed to use |more rather than leaving
the 60's idea of a teletype driver(!!!!!) then why not also have some
PROGRAM which recognises ^H,^C,^Z,^S,^Q etc.
No silly flames about "You can always say stty raw", because on a resonable
tty driver you can say "stty length 0 width 0", or just ^P.
