How to execute an ncurses-based command? #104

Description

@dannys42

When executing an ncurses-based (such as vim), the output does not appear to update correctly.

For example:

try runAndPrint("/usr/bin/vim")

I do not see the vim UI at all. When I hit Ctrl-C, I see a flash in the terminal. So this implies that the text controls were sent but perhaps are being buffered. I looked through the code but I don't see an obvious way to control the stdout buffer size.

As a separate issue, it would be nice if there was a way to pass-thru ctrl-c and other job control keys to the executing process.
