	"32 characters is a ridiculously small input buffer"

Isn't that what DEC has been putting on VT100s all this time??

(I agree, though; there's really no excuse for less than 256
characters nowadays, and I think it should really be a couple
tens of K, allocatable at need....  There *are* terminals that
do this!  Unfortunately all the ones that come to mind are
pretty lousy otherwise.)
