Those features is what I'd call 'too far'. No, it wouldn't be hard
to, say, use libedit for ftp. But.. it's a file transfer program.
But if you do this, a case could be made to add extensions like this
to any other program that has a command-line-like interface. So..
where to stop?

After all, most people that want nice interfaces when ftping are using
Netscape already at the moment.
