Just curious, does your prompting include the ability to handle parameter dependencies, hiding non-applicable parameters and dynamically closing the gaps? Can you use keyword prefixes or other means to hide/show/force any combination of parameters so users see a screen tailored to the keywords they are allowed, but not have blank spaces in the other fields? How do you handle lists or lists within lists? Can the users dynamically request more fields to add more entries to a list? Insert/delete entries in a partially keyed list? Can you hide atypical parameters until the user presses F10? I mostly like the command prompter. It has a few dumb shortcomings, my biggest pet peeve of which is the lack of ability to have a choice program return a parameter value.
