Strange caracters in the terminal about mcrcon HOT 4 CLOSED

@IPlayZed you are righ.

Catching arrow keys etc. on console requires a bit more involved and platform specific code and that is the reason I haven't implemented it.

My goal was to keep the source code relatively simple and concise. I also tried to avoid 3rd party library dependencies.

Proper console inputs with arrow key and tab support would require either TUI library like Curses or alternatively platform specific implementations for every relevant platform.

This is pretty much normal, if those keystrokes are not handled by the programmer. For instance try the telnet command and do the same thing, it will yield the same results. Right now you can only use delete (backwards, or the Del button on your keyboard) to correct the input. (But correct me if I am wrong.) I hope this explained it a bit. :D

FWIW I just added a pull request to incorporate readline for linux/osx (don't know enough WIN32 any more to even be dangerous). I think this takes care of this and issue #51 as well.
