To my surprise, node.js didn't have anything quite like this, though it had the tools (process.openStdin) to make something like it. So, with a lot of help, I did.

## Install:
The easiest way is to use npm:
npm install prompt
## Usage:
To those of you that don't, this module is simple enough that hopefully the
process is pretty clear.
While this module was originally inspired by BASIC-style prompts, the current api is quite a bit different, but much more useful in an asynchronous context.
## Usage & Examples:
Prompt() is an object with the methods .ask, .tap and .end. Chain these methods together to ask questions and do things to them, then call .end() to cap the chain.

Simple examples may be found in the `test/` folder (which are also tests for
node-prompt). More in-depth examples may be found in the `examples/` folder, as
they are written (there's only one right now).

## Authors:
## To-Do:
Prompt could use some TLC:
1. There's no protection (yet) for two instances of Prompt trying to use openStdin
at the same time. Similar problems occur between Prompt and the REPL.
2. I would like to rewrite prompt to use chainsaw, in order to clean up some of
the boilerplate. this might also make deprecating .end() easy.
