Last time I tried something like this [on Windows], it didn't seem to 
work. I wanted to trap arrow keys and so forth, but they seem to be 
being used for input history. (I.e., pressing the up-arrow produces 
previously-entered lines of text, and none of this appears to be 
reaching the Haskell program itself.) Has this changed since I tried it 
last year?
