Noel, it's just that a few of my commands ask for more input. It's not the correct domain, but it's something like the difference, in a linux system of useradd to adduser. I have those that receive a lot of arguments, and other commands that do the same but build the arguments by asking the user some questions (with read-line). Problem is, when I call the command, the first (read-line) inside it will return always "" because of the newline I used to call the command itself.
I wonder if it'd be easy (and not break anything) to make the REPL consume whitespaces between datums. As of now I they are working with the hack I posted before: The only problem is that at times, if the user truly wants to give a blank line, he needs to press enter twice.
