prompt should be modified to adding * to the "sm prompt" as follows:
prompt=:3 : 0
'' prompt y
:
if. IFQT do.
wd 'sm prompt *',y,x
inp=. 1!:1 ] 1
len=. #y
(len * y -: len {. inp) }. inp
else.
y 1!:2 (IFWIN+.IFJHS+.IFIOS) { 4 2
1!:1 ] 1
end.
)
Without it prompt works rather strangely if blanks are in y.
Also, it looks like 1!:1]1 now works within a script. The should be updated
in the help for 1!:1 .
