Yep, GP mentions in another comment that they misinterpreted the error.[0]

Anyway, Python replaces the prompt ">>> " with "... " if the input is mid-statement, and I suppose it would be nice if Eshell did the same thing.

This whole thread is going in my "Humility" file, not only did I misinterpret the error this one time, I've been messing around at the Erlang REPL putting a space after each command for absolutely no reason <headdesk>.
