I need to write an interactive shell using mysql. When I spawn mysql the mysql client launches beautifully and I am able to hide some commands to initialize the environment, however I loose the ability to go back through command history. WHen I hit any of the arrow keys I get strange characters.
`mysql> select user();
select user();
+----------------------+
| user() |
+----------------------+
| sduser@sdhost12 |
+----------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> ^[[A`
