http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.internet.stdio.html 
API Stability: unstable (pending deprecation in favor of a reactor-based 
API)

I see that I jumped the gun a bit.  It was late and when I saw 
unstable...deprecation I went looking at reactor stuff and got lost in a 
maelstrom of confusion.

I got a traceback (but that must have been my error).  Downloading a 
fresh copy it runs but never echo's instead what I type shows up at 
console prompt after I ctrl-C python.  It's probably win2000 cmd.exe's 
fault.
The production system is Linux so use twisted.stdio on that.
