Summary: Debugger prompt is unwieldy

Initial Comment:
When a long command, such as

java MyTestingClass /home/myname/myJavaFiles/Foo.input /home/
myname/myJavaFiles/Bar.input

causes the debugger to hit a breakpoint, the prompt in the 
interactions pane looks like this:

[interpret thread: MyTestingClass.main(new String[]{"/home/
myname/myJavaFiles/Foo.input", "/home/myname/myJavaFiles/
Bar.input/"})] >

All that text is stuck on one line, and any typing adds text to the end 
of that line.  The results of evaluation are printed on the far left, as 
usual, which makes it very difficult to see them.

Possible solutions:

- Limit the size of the text between [ and ], truncating it if it's too 
long.

- Wrap the prompt across multiple lines.

- Put the ">" on a line after the "[...]"
