Re: how to write an interactive crm program?

Just a quick blurb before I go and rediscover the niceties of a bed at
around 1 AM:

since you use syscall, there's no requirement to have the syscall-ed
item be another crm invocation: make that a syscall ... /sh
interact.sh/ so you can write all of your interactive exchange in UNIX
shell script (of course, this assumes you're on UNIX; for Windows, it
would be something different: batch file with a bit of tools or
something else entirely). Anyway, the idea is you don't need to write
the interactive bit in crm script.
