   	src/sbbs3/str.cpp   
   Log Message:   
   Overhaul the gettmplt() (in JS, console.gettemplate) function   
      
   Oh this was (and in some ways is still) oh so broken and has been forever.   
      
   If backspace, DEL, or Ctrl-X was used, the returned string was often not what   
   was being displayed on the terminal when the user hit ENTER.    
      
   - Ctrl-X, Backspace and DEL actually clear out the entered text now   
     Backspace/DEL don't remove the non-template (e.g. symbol) chars though   
   - The left and right arrows keys can now be used to traverse the edited text   
   - TAB is now treated the same as CR (much like getstr())   
   - When editing a string, the cursor starts at the first character instead of   
     the last as this seems much more convenient. Perhaps getstr() should get the   
     treatment, but I hesitate because getstr() is used by so many.
