What should happen:
1. Type CTRL-D or similar key sequence to get a command line console.
2. Type 'Cursor Up' key or 'CTRL-R' for a history recall similar to Bash command line console.
3. Type 'ENTER' or 'RETURN' to re-execute the command.
Notice how much simpler and easier this sequence is during debugging?
(This also brings to memory, the in-game VON console also lacks any line history!)
