the problem with using cbreak mode is that it makes the shell
escape capability go away.  this probably won't bother most users,
but we got a couple of complaints here when we changed write to
put itself into cbreak mode.  it would be neater to allow a command
inside write to turn cbreak on/off, so that shell commands can be
run by just switching mode.
