Yes. I enter ./POPFile & on the command line and press ENTER. POPFile starts up, spits out a few lines of text (Loading (blah) ... Initializing (blah) ... Starting (blah) ... POPFile Engine running) and then displays a blank line. Evidently, I'm at a command prompt, because anything I type shows up. If I type a command and press enter, it's executed. (I didn't realize this when I first posted.) But I do not get the prompt, just a blank line, until I press ENTER a second time.
