Line got truncated....

This is what I meant:

(At all points, the user must be informed in which context the execution
occurs - in the overlay language or in native J. That is
the reason for adding a prompt symbol).

Hello Eric,

Thanks!

Looks like I would need more help ...

This what I tried :
   overlay=: 3 : 0
'>' (1!:2) 2 NB. write the prompt
k=.(1!:1) 1     NB. wait for input
k
)

Now, I load the script and can call overlay thus:
   overlay ''
>
some input
some input

Almost there but not quite....
1) Why is there an additional CRLF added to the output? Can I override
that behavior?
2) Just to see if the input works right, I added a backspace before the
input, Then I have this...
overlay ''
>some input (NB. erased the CRLF through use of backspace in the session
window)
>some input (NB. this is the read input)

which is exactly what I want. Then using }. I can get the statement I want
to parse...

(At all points, the user must be informed

Any pointers?

Regards,
Yuva
