That's fine :) I did work out a proper fix - see other reply.

Thanks for the tip. I'll look into this further.

I'll investigate the issues with always setting up the terminal with
ed_Init(), versus adding another mechanism to do this explicitly that
doesn't require the telltc/echotc as the first command. Being able
to test various "terminal size" related behavior in the testsuite will
be good (e.g., ls-F column behavior).

regards,
Luke.
