prompt(questions) freezes the terminal

[cgoldman1026]

I'm currently building a Terminal menu that requires the user to be able to freely scroll throughout the Terminal to make decisions based on things that have been printed to the Terminal previously in the code. However, whenever I prompt() my array of questions and the questions display in the Terminal, it totally freezes and I lose the ability to scroll freely throughout.

Not sure if this is intended behavior but would really appreciate if someone had a workaround.

Unrelated issue: is it possible to replace the '?' that appears at the beginning of every message by default?
