<![CDATA[input from REPL console to FiPy]]>I have one of these in my test program - not in a loop

msg=input('Enter message -=> ')

When I run the program I get

Enter message -=> 
Enter message -=> Enter message -=> 
Enter message -=> abcdef

So what happened was that I got 4 prompts. Only the last one blocked waiting for me to enter "abcdef".

This is not a huge issue because I can ignore the empty strings that come back from the first 3 prompts. It's untidy though and there will be cases where a null string is a valid answer.
