9term emulates a printer: if you want to edit in a 9term you must use
editor such as ed, ex, or sam -d. 9term is dead simple, you can't mess
it up with escape sequences and most control characters are considered
displayable (9term treats backspace and linefeed specially, and that's
it). Mostly when I've used 9term it's just been a place to start other
programs from that open their own windows.
