Extend command-prompt with a -p option which is a comma-separated list of one
or more prompts to present in order. The responses to the prompt are replaced in the template string: %% are replaced in order, so the first prompt replaces the first %%, the second replaces the second, and so on. In addition, %1 up to %9 are replaced with the responses to the first the ninth prompts The default template is "%1" so the response to the first prompt is processed as a command. Note that this changes the behaviour for %% so if there is only one prompt, only the first %% will be replaced. Templates such as "neww -n '%%' 'ssh %%'" should be changed to "neww -n '%1' 'ssh %1'". From Tiago Cunha.
