Etan says it's possible to do this without two buffers. That's probably
true. How hard is it to do it without two buffers? That might simplify
things a little.

Note, I haven't looked at any code. For the toolbar stuff, did you make
it so that the formatting buttons do not show in command mode?

That pref needs to be removed if a command mode is added. When in
command mode, you *can't* send anything as text directly.

This is the point with the most contention, so I'll leave it alone for
now. I want to save having this debate again until the rest of the
command mode stuff is polished. :)
