The "history" part is that you can scoot back with the scroll bar or page-up
key, *edit the text in the window*, and then resubmit it (highlight the
whole line and use "send" from the middle-button menu).  This becomes
incredibly natural in a very short time.

The "hold mode" stuff is pretty neat too, although I don't use it nearly
as much as I should.

The Unicode fonts are copyrighted, and Matty has not yet gotten permission
to distribute them. Sigh.
