A better way to do this is to leave 9term in nocook mode
(meaning the menu says cook - just don't click on it).
As long as you execute (for bash)

    set +o emacs
    set +o vi

to turn off those editing modes, bash will just read from the
tty with echo turned on, and if echo is turned on 9term will
let you do mouse editing and deliver the lines one line at
a time.

Even better, at least for acme users, is that win works with
stty echo turned on too.  In fact it works better.  It does the
echo cancellation internally (if it sees echoing coming back
it just doesn't print it) and automatically erases typing after
a prompt like

    Password:

so you can run ssh or sudo in a win window without fear
of displaying your password for all to see.

This is all as of mid-October 2010.  If you haven't updated
since then you might want to.
