i don't think it's possible to work without rio,
as the console doesn't allow one to interrupt
a task.  so if you ever start something that
hangs up, you've got to reboot to get a prompt
back.

of course you could
a) modify the kernel to allow one to use DEL
at the console.
b) write something that suits your taste either
within rio or to replace it.
