Yes, I like the transaction status being the default prompt, but I don't
like the prompt shifting. Remember guys who have the current directory
in their prompt --- the thing bounces around all over the place.
Maybe a natural indenting of the transaction commands will look good ---
I don't know, but I think we should look at it before making the
decision on the default appearance.
