[erlang-questions] An interactive erlang console

[Arun]

Hi,

I am working on an erlang application which provides a command line tool 
to run some basic tests on hardware. The tool work like this,
as the application starts, it will prompt a message on the console, user 
can give any options present in the console, based on the options
provided by user the application performs the required tests.

I am using *io:read/1*, functions to display the message and read the 
user provided options. But the problem with this function is that, user 
has to give a
*dot* at the end. Is it possible to avoid forcing user to put *dot* at 
the end of every option he provides, any better function or is there any 
better way build
a command line tool in erlang.

Can someone please help me out in this.

Thanks and regards,
Arun
