prompt is a simple wrapper which provides command-line editing for programs that do not have it.

       Not  all  programs  with a command line interface provide an input history or even the ability to use the
       cursor keys to change the input. The prompt program wraps any program,  intercepting  stdin,  stdout  and
       stderr and providing the user with such editing facilities.
