What is the deficiency in the design of the "pkgrm" program?

I don't suggest to change its interface, because I don't see how it can be changed 
to solve this simple problem: "read only the answer on the current question, 
instead of reading the answers on all questions at once". 
IMHO, it is a just a bug in "pkgrm" program, and it should be fixed.

I created a small test that shows that the suggested fix works just fine. I'll file 
a bug against "pkgrm" program, and add my test to illustrate how it can be fixed.

Thanks,
Nik
