Almost right. There is no newline after the command if it takes no
arguments. The newlines are read by the function that reads the
arguments, and it is not called if no arguments are required. If you
do type a newline after an argumentless command, the newline will be
read as the next command character, and it will not be a recognized
command, so rmt will exit.
