The agent can process simple prompt commands entered as either input from a file (see command line option --input) or as input from the keyboard (assuming --daemon is not specified as a command line argument). You can see the list of prompt commands that are accepted by the agent by entering "help" at the prompt. To get detailed help on a particular prompt command, enter "help" followed by the name of the prompt command you are interested in.
