I was typing in a hurry. There are several unreadable items below. Let me
correct myself...

Perhaps the Windows console is treating ESC specially, apparently as "line
erase", discarduing any preceeding text. Hence your results.

- accept this, and use the liternal-next kestroke (usually ^V) to tell it not
to the bytes special to the line discipline. So you might type ^V^H to get a
literal ^H code in your input and so forth.
"literal", not "liternal". "not to the" => "not to treat the". "special" =>
"specially".
- put the terminal into "raw" mode where keystroke bytes are sent through
unchanged (although them you need to hand carriage return yourself, etc)
"then", not "them". "handle", not "hand".
