I see. I've decided to use variables that hold -F options and output
stream for the prompt. See new patch.

Stderr.

See read.def::read_builtin:

  if (prompt && edit == 0)
    {
      fprintf (stderr, "%s", prompt);
      fflush (stderr);
    }

The prompt is written to stderr.

Before these works. I'd like to commit the code to CVS repository.
Ok?
