----------------------- PROMPT - Internal DOS Command ------------------------
PROMPT sets a new system prompt.
FORMAT: PROMPT [prompt-text]
REMARKS:
"prompt-text" is the new system prompt. Entering PROMPT without giving a
prompt-text resets the system prompt to the DOS default (d> where "d" is
the default drive).
Special strings of the form $c may be embedded in the prompt-text to include
special characters or information in the prompt.
"c" values:
$ = the "$" character l = the "<" character
t = the system time b = the "|" character
d = the system date q = the "=" character
p = current directory and h = backspace and erase previous character
default drive letter e = the ESC character (left arrow)
v = DOS version number _ = go to the beginning of a new line on
n = default drive letter the screen
g = the ">" character
EXAMPLES:
Change the system prompt to "Ready":
PROMPT Ready
Change the system prompt to display the default drive and the current directory
and display a > at the end of the prompt:
PROMPT $P$G
