 because we handle our own echoing, e.g. once the chars appear on the
 screen, they are in the ReadLine() buffer that we are building. This
 code might have to be rethought...
 
 actually... I might be able to hack something up for this. I smell a
 challenge :)

+okay, so more info:
+
+arrow keys don't work in other console apps either (like cat), so I
+don't think we need to make this work like "readline", however...
+there are some bugs associated with this in that TermInfoDriver does
+try to echo them back to the screen (they get dropped by the
+underlying stream tho, prob cuz they are unprintable) but
+TermInfoDriver thinks our cursor has moved 1 character over to the
+right (just like a normal char) which it clearly does not do.
