Ah! Thank you very much! I re-wrote it similar as a perl script, and it does what I was looking for it to do!

I'm getting some non-critical errors in the script being run from the command line, based on it not being able to deal with the terminal size, but I should be able to get that sorted, if just dump the error messages to nul-space.

"Unable to get Terminal Size. The Win32 GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo call didn't work. The COLUMNS and LINES environment variables didn't work. at C:/Strawberry/perl/vendor/lib/Term/ReadLine/readline.pm line 410.", in a Windows setting

There is a great bunch of individuals here!
