The code for input(message) (see
/usr/share/scilab/modules/io/macros/input.sci) calls prompt(message) and
then mscanf(format_string). The prompt() function is meant to modify the
prompt for the next user interaction, but for some reason calling this
function does nothing at all.
As calls to prompt(new_prompt) do nothing the default prompt ('-->') is
shown instead, but any content typed by the user is used for the
previous input(message) call. This is a bit misleading for the user, as
it seems/feels like nothing happened after the input(message) call, but
scilab is in fact expecting the response for the input(message).
I found http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14998 reported
stating that input(message) should instead be calling mprintf() instead
of prompt().
