---------------------------------------

IMHO it would be good to commit this patch, and let our esteemed Mac users report any problems that may surface. If those problems can't be easily fixed one can always back out the change.

> Many users have been confused by the lack of response from ij when they forget to end a statement with a semicolon, and believe that Derby is taking its sweet time answering their query, while ij is simply waiting for more input.
> This issue tries to address this by adding a short "> " prompt to the next line after a newline has been entered by the user without ending the statement with a semicolon.
