-\fIPrompter\fR is an editor front\-end for \fInmh\fR which allows rapid
-composition of messages. This program is not normally invoked directly by
-users but takes the place of an editor and acts as an editor front\-end.
-It operates on an RFC\-822 style message draft skeleton specified by
-file, normally provided by the nmh commands \fIcomp\fR, \fIdist\fR,
-\fIforw\fR, or \fIrepl\fR.
-
-\fIPrompter\fR is particularly useful when composing messages over slow
-network or modem lines. It is an \fInmh\fR program in that it can have
-its own profile entry with switches, but it is not invoked directly by
-the user. The commands \fIcomp\fR, \fIdist\fR, \fIforw\fR, and \fIrepl\fR
-invoke \fIprompter\fR as an editor, either when invoked with
-`\-editor\ prompter', or by the profile entry \*(lqEditor:\ prompter\*(rq,
-or when given the command `edit\ prompter' at the \*(lqWhat now?\*(rq prompt.
-
-For each empty component \fIprompter\fR finds in the draft, the user
-is prompted for a response; A <RETURN> will cause the whole component
-to be left out. Otherwise, a `\\' preceding a <RETURN> will continue
-the response on the next line, allowing for multiline components.
-Continuation lines \fBmust\fR begin with a space or tab.
