Running csharp on Windows reports the exception below.  The tool doesn't exit
at that point but can't be used as any subsequent typing and newline just
report the same exception.  This is as built and run within cygwin.

With a little debugging, the problematic path is "<interactive>".  That's
because Path.GetInvalidFileNameChars() etc on Windows include both < and >. 
Replacing that string with "_interactive_" seems to solve the problem and the
tool can be used, but then no prompts are printed...
