 This patch looks interesting, but it only handles the case where you
 are doing an ls.  A more general form is needed.  The best place to do
 this would be in the main loop at around line 257 of main.c.  If you
 always flushed stdout here, rather than just if we're running from a
 tty, then you would have general results.  That is change:
 	for (;;) {
 		if (fromatty) {
 			printf("ftp> ");
 			(void) fflush(stdout);
 		}
 to	for (;;) {
 		if (fromatty)
 			printf("ftp> ");
 		(void) fflush(stdout);
