That's the way it's been in these implementations: you _have_ to use the rodent and heavily. As such, having a buffer to store commands (one per line) into doesn't sound that bad, but the actual interface to use those commands (on the typical computer with controls separate from display) -- it should be a command query that searches for matching lines or so.
