What needs to be put out is LF + 3 spaces, to function as a command prompt.
The current behavior is most undesirable, because the smoutput result
must be removed before a line can be executed. The workaround of
outputting a LF,' ' prompt from the handler is a kludge, and hard to
do right if a variable number of smoutputs is possible.
One solution would be for the input reader to ensure that there is a
prompt in the last line of the window before waiting for user input.

I think smoutput itself does not output the trailing LF, it is the
job of the front-end. Also trailing LF will be suppressed for EMPTY.
I am not sure if your suggestion is better than the current behavior.
Anyway, perhaps you can append trailing LF when smoutput inside timer
or websocket events
.

I can't cursor down to an empty line, so I have to back up over the
text that was typed.

Can you confirm by typing something with keyboard?

To produce the problem, define

smoutput 'one line'

And then type in

Perhaps the problem is that the line is being invoked as a response to
a
socket event, without any keyboard action?
The problem was at school, so I don't have the version on me, but I
installed on all machines yesterday, and updated with Package Manager.

I cannot duplicate this, and smoutput works fine for me. What version

you running, and how are you entering the smoutput sentence?

smoutput 'xxx'
prints xxx, but it leaves the cursor on the printed line, which is
the
last line of the display. So, there is no easy way to type a new
line.
I suggest that it should append another empty line (indented 3
spaces) to
allow for another command.
