The easy answer to this is to just make the terminal smart enough
to do command line editing locally, which is what IBM 3270s have
done (poorly, I admit) for years.  Local command-line editing and
history would be obvious features to build into Blit software--so
obvious that I'll bet somebody out there already has.  Any takers?
