I believe that you're correct.

 HS> console.print("Input Here: ");
 HS> console.getstr("value", 25, K_NOSPIN);

I'm not sure if K_NOSPIN has any effect on console.getstr (maybe just
console.getkey.)

 HS> Input Here: value

You might try this instead, which should give you the result you're looking
for:

console.getstr("value", 25, K_EDIT|K_AUTODEL);

You might want to throw K_LINE onto the mode argument as well.
