The shell should work like this in interactive mode:

$ ./console.py (hbnb) help

EOF help quit

(hbnb) (hbnb) (hbnb) quit $ But also in non-interactive mode: (like the Shell project in C)

$ echo "help" | ./console.py (hbnb)

EOF help quit (hbnb) $ $ cat test_help help $ $ cat test_help | ./console.py (hbnb)

EOF help quit (hbnb) $
