[U-Boot] funny handling of arrow keys

[David Collier]

OK, well I'm still working on 2008.10, so things may be different there.

in hush I can see 2 references to CONFIG_FEATURE_COMMAND_EDITING which is
NOT defined in my set-up

elsewhere I see 
#define CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING	1	/* add command line history */

which I have now added in to the .h file for my board - it wasn't in the
ATNGW100 file I started from.

and I have command history going, and it's wonderful :-)

-------------

All of which is lovely, but the behaviour I commented on is still odd -
command line parsers shouldn't accept unprintable chars and then complain
about them in an unprintable way.
