I got some problems with the UNDO command, sometimes it trashes the text.

That's simple. It calls IsInterActive() to verify that any input can
reach stdin. And a RUNned program has some difficulties to get input
since the CLI process will get its input from there too.

I've got stevie last week and I will try to improve some things on the
input side. This will include the ability to RUN it and to work on
the serial port (for remote CLIs), although this is done via an
Aux-handler that simulates an ANSI-Terminal (I'd like to implement
sth like termcap).

BTW, stevie is rather slow when doing inserts. I think this because
on every character entered the whole screen is updated. Maybe someone
can find the 'bug'.

Merry Chrismas.
