 *   TADS 3 Library - console input/output manager
 *   
 *   This module defines the low-level functions for handling input and
 *   output via the traditional interpreter's user interface, using the
 *   local keyboard and console via the "tads-io" function set.
 *   
 *   The functions in this module are designed primarily for internal use
 *   within the library itself.  Games should use the higher level objects
 *   and functions defined in input.t and output.t instead of directly
 *   calling the functions defined here.  The reason for separating these
 *   functions is so that we can substitute the Web UI versions for games
 *   that wish to use the Web UI insetad of the traditional console UI.
