Clim 1.1 and Genera 8.1.1 (who doesn't know that?)

When a user mis-types something, the message "Invalid completion, please
edit your input" is printed and the user is sent back to the left
margin:

----------------
Command:
Invalid completion: Show w
Please edit your input.

Show w
----------------

I would prefer:

----------------
Command: Show w
Invalid completion: Show w
Please edit your input.
Command: Show w
----------------


ie: 1) don't remove the initial input
    2) redisplay the prompt in front of the command to edit

Wouldn't this be cleaner?
