Perturbatio

I've updated the InputBox to have proper character wrap, no word wrap yet.
It has key repeat for backspace (and the cursor keys) and now has a CaratPos so that you can go back and forward and insert text.

The GetCharWidth function can probably be removed now as it is obsolete (doh!).

in editor.bb:

; rtnSubmit : if the return key is pressed, then    ;

add the following after SetFont font:
