Perhaps a flush should be added somewhere.  Or perhaps there is a
bug in Clesh.  Or in the JVM.  I don't know.

If you compile Kawa with --enable-kawa-frontend it compiles kKwa with
builtin readline support.  Well, actually it doesn't do that:  It
compiles a driver program that uses readline and communicates with
Kawa running on a JVM.  The communication is done using the telnet
protocol, but that is invisible.  (Kawa itself acts like a telnet server.)

I also wrote rlfe (http://per.bothner.com/software/index.html#rlfe)
which is like cle, but automatically switches between cooked and raw.
These days, my thinking is that this functionality should be builtin to
the terminal emulator (i.e. xterm).

A good idea.  Theer are some issues in that the FSF does not like GNU
projects (like Qexo) to reference non-free websites (liek Sun's).  What
I'd like to do is take the StarOffice slides, and turn them into HTML.
