A word of caution... bitchX *requires* that the terminal supports Delete Line. 
Currently, SyncTERM doesn't because it conflicts with ANSI Music.  BananaCom
has suggested a non-conflicting methods, but it doesn't seem widely used.

In the future, SyncTERM will support ANSI music *and* delete line but the user
will still have to choose which he/she wants.
