Ok. Wacky idea here. I'm interested in mudding, but don't like the mud
clients that are available. I think a shell script would work, if I
could get zsh to do the following:
1. read output from the server and print it, while reading input from me
and sending it out. That's the most important.
2. be able to use readline while reading input. Has a zsh module been
developped for readline? Can this be done?
Thanks,
Tyler

See the zftp functions and the zsh/net/tcp module.

No, a module for readline has not been developed, because ZLE has been
lots better. (Recent versions of readline may be catching up.) You
can use the "vared" command to access ZLE from a script, or you could
just run the mud client as function calls from the normal shell prompt.

In particular, read the zshtcpsys manual page if you are using TCP.
