The other thing I've noticed is that when I'm connecting from Plan 9 to a UNIX system, running ssh in vt is handy. It makes all the stuff like readline and color ls happy, plus there's a cooked/raw menu control in vt. But if a cooked mode is something that would useful, I don't think it would be too hard to add. It would also be a good thing to add to the ^\ command set. BLS
