Yes, chout.flush() hangs for a while, and then reports bus error. "\n"  
seems to flush, but for the VT100 terminal 2D display I mentioned  
before I want to avoid unnecessary newlines.

It would also be nice if one could do C++ style manipulators. Like
   std::ostream& f(std::ostream& os) {
     ...
     return os;
   }

And then
   chout <= ... <= f <= ...;
