	Thanks for all of the information. I compiled '9term' and it is pretty
	nice. However, I haven't been able to find a "history" mechanism that
	would warrant removing the '$history' hook... perhaps I've missed it.
	The only thing that is close is the 'bkwd' search on the third button,
	and it doesn't seem to support regular expressions. I like the 
	GNU-readline approach much better.

	It seems that the most interesting part of '9term', unicode support,
	is not available, at least I assume it is not. The missing piece seems
	to be the fonts, the protection on 

		'ftp.cs.su.oz.au:/matty/unicode/libXg.utf.fonts.tar.Z'

	is '-rw-------'. Too bad.

	If I've missed something here, please let me know.
