While we're on the topic of command lines, how does one change the command
line *before* the ENTER key is pressed (ie - highlight text on the screen
with the mouse and click a button to place the text at the cursor in the
command line) ?

On the AT machines, there is an "Insert character in keyboard buffer" call,
but if the buffer fills you lose the end of the command.

Any pointers or source code examples would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
