Either that, or these programs are using the GNU readline library
or similar.
readline interprets some control characters as well as many escape
characters... every time I use a console program that prints a
when I type backspace or ka when I hit the up error to scroll back
through my input, I get quite irate. It take nearly no effort to
link against a readline library--and non-GPL (read, new-style BSD
licensed) ones exist, so one's wish to keep software closed source
or whatever is no excuse--for a great amount of benefit.
