Hmm.. that's an interesting question.

What you are seeing is the default behaviour of lina.

I am still dissecting and piecing the source together in my head. Lina
takes input from the console from stdin, (ie REFILL-TIB) and the
carriage return you see (before the output and OK) , I believe stems
from the cr you tap in as stdin is read via READ-FILE.

I've looked thru' the source and I can't account for it in any other
way at present.

So to change this behaviour, I am not sure exactly what you can do
about it, as yet.

One possibility may be to flip some flags in the termio structure that
sets up the terminal via the ioctl syscall. Maybe there might be a
flag that could prevent the newline. I admit I am unsure about whether
this will work, I do not know enough about this - still learning how
linux/unixes are put together :)

Albert van der Horst might be able to suggest something.

If I find out I shall let you know, meanwhile if you find any thing
else buggy let me know, there's a lot of work yet to be done. I still
haven't found out why my fork  stuffed up :)
