Works nice, but with 9term it is possible to move cursor and edit

use libedit from BSD.

Or linenoise[1], which sucks vastly less than either. :)

It's a single C file of 432 lines as opposed to libedit's 20k and readline's 30k, and works with perhaps > 99% of the terminals still in use, as nearly all terminals respect vt100 escape codes. I was introduced to it the other day when looking for something to make rc usable on a machine where 9term just isn't working out, one way or another.
