I have recently become aware of two problems that arise when SKsh is used
with conman:

  1) Typeahead is disable with conman.  I have no idea why this is, but
     there is nothing I can do about it inside SKsh.

  2) If you move the cursor to the middle of a line and press return,
     conman will blank the rest of the line.  I might be able to fix
     this by re-printing the line when the user presses return, but
     this seems a bit kludgy.

Neither of these problems appear with the normal AmigaDos console handler,
so if you like SKsh's editing, you might want to use that.  If you want
to use conman's editing, you can turn off the SKsh editing with an option
switch, but you'll lose all of the nice features like filename completion
and history searches.

PS - also, a big thank you is owed to Tad Guy for getting Sksh1.3 out the
     door so quickly.
