implemented the ^W command for refreshing the screen in loops, for sleeping and also the CTRL+L immediate editing command
* ^W can be added to loops in order to view progress in interactive mode.
It also sleeps for a given number of milliseconds (10ms by default).
* In batch mode it is therefore the sleep command.
* Since CTRL+W is an immediate editing command, you will usually type it Caret+W.
ASCII 23 however will also be accepted.
* While ^W only updates the screen, you can force a complete redraw by pressing CTRL+L.
This is what most terminal applications use for redrawing.
It will make it harder to insert ASCII 12, but this is seldom necessary since it
is a form feed.
^L (ASCII 12 and the upcaret variant ) is still a whitespace character and therefore treated as a NOP.
* DEC TECO had CTRL+W as the refresh immediate editing command.
Video TECO uses <ET> as a regular command for refreshign in loops.
I'd rather keep ET reserved as a potential terminal configuration command
as in DEC TECO, though.
