In ancient times, having \r and \n perform different actions were
almost mandated...
Ever seen how a password prompt on a Teletype was handled? By using a
bare \r to overtype the input field with X, $, probably M, O, and 8 too...
{And I recall standard practice was to hit \r, to return the carriage, \n
for next line, and one RUBOUT to provide a delay while the carriage
returned to the left <G>}
