I believe cons2 generates ANSI standard output from the keypad. Do you mean
the arrows don't work from the shell? You'd need to teach the getline()
routine how to interpret arrow keys. I'm not sure it'd be worth it.

Again, you mean while typing to the shell? Note that "del" isn't bound to
the "backspace" function; you need to use "backspace".

Two things: did you start a mouse driver? And also you might well run out
of memory. I'd guess 4 megs can boot VSTa and run MGR, but don't be
surprised if a gcc within a window runs you out of RAM.
