[Coco] raw mode?

[Bob Devries]

Yes, Willard, you're right.

Using raw (aka unbuffered) is more difficult when using stdin, however, at 
least in C, it is possible to dup()  the paths for stdin, stdout and stderr, 
and then close the original, and use the duplicate instead, after setting 
the _RBF flag.
