Hi Pedro,

I am confused, but it is probably because I didn't
have time and courage to read the whole non-stop threads.

What happens if the user is currently typing some
commands on prompt?
Are there two different prompts to let the
user know if we are running or stopped?
What happens to the already typed chars in the
case of a prompt switch?
