Oh, sorry. Here are some cases:

1. Run 'rlwrap cmd'.
Expected result: a prompt with a current directory name and a cursor for
inputting commands should be displayed.
Actual result: an empty screen with the cmd logo in the two topmost lines
and an input cursor somewhere in the middle of an empty third line, the
prompt is not displayed.

2. Type 'dir' and press <Enter>
Expected result: a list of files in the current directory.
Actual result: an empty screen with the word 'dir' moved from whenever it
was typed to the top left corner of the third line (just below the 'cmd'
logo).

3. Press <Up> key.
Expected result: a prompt with a current directory name and a previously
entered command ('dir') should be displayed.
Actual result: an empty screen with the word 'dirdir' in the top left
corner of the third line (just below the 'cmd' logo).

4. Type "exit" and press <Enter>
Expected result: cmd should exit and bash prompt should be displayed again.
Actual result: an empty screen with the word 'exit' in the top left corner
of the third line (just below the 'cmd' logo).
