[erlang-questions] clarify: run_erl and ssh

Greetings,

How do I get the prompt when pressing "ENTER" when I use "ssh" to start
Erlang with "run_erl"?

I have this script:

#! /bin/sh
run_erl -daemon /tmp/eleberg/ /tmp/eleberg/ "exec erl"

It can be run like this:
sekic1152 [8:24am] [/home/eleberg] -> ./afile

And I get a nice interaction:

sekic1152 [8:26am] [/home/eleberg] -> to_erl /tmp/eleberg/
Attaching to /tmp/eleberg/erlang.pipe.1 (^D to exit)


1> q().
ok
2> [End]

For the second example I use "ssh" and the nice interaction gets worse:

sekic1152 [8:26am] [/home/eleberg] -> ssh sekic1152 ./afile
These computer resources, specifically Internet access and E-mail, are
...
IF YOU ARE NOT AN AUTHORIZED USER, PLEASE EXIT IMMEDIATELY.
sekic1152 [8:26am] [/home/eleberg] -> 


sekic1152 [8:26am] [/home/eleberg] -> to_erl /tmp/eleberg/
Attaching to /tmp/eleberg/erlang.pipe.1 (^D to exit)

^R




q().
ok
2> [End]


How can I persuade the prompt (1>) to show up upon "CR" in the second
example?

This is not important, as you can see it is possible to give command in
the Erlang shell. I can even see them, which is nice. But pressing "CR"
does not print the prompt and I would like that.
