Comment:
The reason they didn't send it all at once seems to be that the interface
doesn't properly handle continuation prompts (it deletes enough characters
for the whole prompt). Sending all on one line avoids them... except of
course when it doesn't. In particular something like
{{{
if true then
}}}
in the notebook will cause all sorts of unhappiness (3 characters cut off
the end of the output) until a cell like
{{{
fi
}}}
is evaluated. Hopefully this should be fixed now. We probably shouldn't
worry too much about the above case since a similar cell with
{{{
if false then
}}}
will simply cause everything to stop being evaluated until a closing cell
is evaluated. I don't see a way around this, and it should probably be
considered user error.
