I tried this, it has other problems.

I'm glad you now handle "^U", although it is not (yet?)
bash-compatible.  Bash deletes from the beginning of the
line to the cursor, your code deletes the whole line no
matter where the cursor is.

In input_backward() you generate output like "\033[-79C" to
move to the end of the line.  I guess that's a bug, I changed
it like this:

--- /home/ldoolitt/misc/cmdedit.c	Thu Feb  1 08:40:58 2001
+++ cmdedit.c	Thu Feb  1 10:07:02 2001

-				printf("\033[%dC", cmdedit_x-(cmdedit_termw-1));
+				printf("\033[%dC", (cmdedit_termw-1)-cmdedit_x);
 				cmdedit_x=cmdedit_termw-1;
 				}
 			}

and now it edits wrapped lines nicely.  It's a little larger, maybe
500 bytes.  It is more character-efficient (which is nice when running
over a 9600 bps serial link!).

After Vladimir confirms the above patch, and at least one more person
reports success, I recommend updating the CVS tree.
