Description:
------------
  HighLine was designed to ease the tedious tasks of doing console input and
output with low-level methods like gets() and puts(). HighLine provides a
robust system for requesting data from a user, without needing to code all
the error checking and validation rules and without needing to convert the
typed Strings into what your program really needs. 

HighLine allows developers to quickly create robust menus with custom layouts
using the built in options or their own eRb Strings.  We've implemented ANSI
color sequences so that full control over the look and feel of the text can
be had.

Things like word wrap, paging, and other formatting needs are easily
accomplished with HighLine.  The system works as a high level wrapper around
all input/output operations and can easily be used for server interaction or
even to simplify validation underneath a GUI.

HighLine has even been set up to implement a command shell! It truely can
help make the process of communicating with a user much easier and cleaner to
work with.
