Bring up the Console.  Hit Meta-b.
Note that the cursor appears in the prompt.  Oops.

I looked at this a bit.  It seems like the appended patch should fix
the problem, but it doesn't.

Experimentation at runtime shows that the Text binding is being run
even though my new binding invokes "break".

I have no clue why this would fail.  In the past I would have
suspected our weird itcl, but I haven't kept up with what has happened
there and I don't know if these suspicions are still current.

Perhaps someone with more time and more recent direct experience could
finish this?  It shouldn't take too long...

	* console.itb (Console::_build_win): Handle bindings which
	are ";".  Also, completely override underlying Text binding.
