If more than one line of typeahead is given before the shell prompt is
printed, the extra characters (even if they don't form a complete
line) are used as input to the next shell prompt, even if the first
command runs a program that wants input.  For example:

[no prompt yet]
[type "discuss foobar\np last\n"]
% discuss foobar
Discuss version....
Foobar meeting: 0 new, ....
discuss:  [now you have to type "p last" again]
...
discuss: quit
% p last
p: Command not found.
