Hello,

This week I implemented a solid chunk of basic editing actions (think 
forward-word/kill-line) at the prompt, and did another pass through my 
code from last week to rename and restructure some things. I didn't run 
into any bugs or much of anything interesting.

I ended up with a bit of spare time towards the end of the week, so I 
looked into getting a proper flashing cursor wired up, since pressing 
editing keys without the cursor showing/hiding itself as expected felt 
very wrong. However there isn't a generic timer API in the loader, so I 
will need to implement my own or have an entirely separate 
implementation for each platform. Neither option is great, so I'm going 
to spend a bit more time digging before I decide on how to solve the 
problem.

Connor
