Hi Mark,

interactive_methods.s should be improved to allow for history to be
provided by the caller.  Right now I'm not satisfied with
interactive's way of passing arguments to interactive methods.  You
may notice that in interactive.js, some interactive methods require
their arguments to be passed as functions, while others, like `s' will
take a simple string prompt.  Also, arguments to interactive methods
are always passed by position, which makes it hard to provide a
consistent interface.  If you have any ideas for how to overcome these
problems, or even just a patch to get a quick fix for what you want to
do right now, I would be glad to know and assist.
