Hum... Say you have an interactive command that takes a "y" keystroke.

Does your history becomes like this:

  Second result - line 1
  Second result - line 2
  Command prompt
  y
  First result - line 1
  First result - line 2

Or this:

  First result - line 1
  First result - line 2
  Command prompt
  y
  Second result - line 1
  Second result - line 2

And if it is the second option, how does it at the instants it shows the prompt, and after it gets a result?

Looks complex to me.
