Following your steps I get no prompt at all, it just print the output.

swmml works like perl (it is a perl script): if you want to execute "on the fly" command in perl you write:

Code:

perl -e "print \"Hello world\n\""

I used the word "interactive" because if I execute swmml by its own it enters a shell like the following:

Code:

-bash-3.00$ swmml

+---------+    Signalware Enhanced Terminal Handler v9.41.1

Welcome to swmml. To get some help, type 'man'.
Current editing mode set to: emacs mode.
