I know what you mean with the line being interupted.. you can be typing a command or message and half way through it displays a message which it simply dumps onto the same line, so you have what you typed with the message jammed on the end, then the rest of what you typed on the next line if you weren't looking at the screen.
The only thing I can say is that even if it interupts what you are typing, it seems to still understand. I have had it do this to me, while typeing a broadcast message, and i just kept typing, and hit enter and it still transmitted the message fine, eventhough I had
broadcast
What would you like to say?

[Admin] Well everyone I'm off to bed now.
It is disturbing to see but it doesn't seem to have any effect on it functonally.
It would be nice to have the protected 'input line' at the bottom like you suggest, but I think it will be a whole different barrel of fish trying to do it. I could be wrong, I HOPE im wrong, because it would be great if it could be done easily.
