I've got a bash script that would be nicer if when I prompt the user, rather than just asking for input, if it provided a line that the user could edit (but a full text editor would be overkill, it's only one line)

What tool provides this?

dialog's inputbox is almost right, but I'd rather it didn't paint the whole screen.
