I'm not sure why we'd need to do all of that. Using the example above, it might look like:
Enter username: [Steve Jones]Then, if you simply press enter, it's as though you entered Steve Jones. Otherwise, whatever the user enters is returned.
I don't see an easy way to get "Steve Jones" into the buffer, which I think is what would have to happen.
I'm going to try a puts(0,default) and see if that works. :)
Edit: It doesn't work. :/
Well, in my console (konsole), I can copy and paste, and edit whatever's there. And then I get the end result:
include std/console.e printf(1, "you entered: [%s]\n", { prompt_string("enter something:") })
