P R O M P T (Set System Prompt) COMMAND
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose: Sets a new DOS prompt.
Format: PROMPT [prompt-text]
Remarks: [prompt-text] to specify the text for the new system prompt. The
prompt-text can contain special meta-strings that are in the form
$letter. The following are meta-strings that can be included in
the prompt-text:
$ - The character that MUST come BEFORE the letter.
t - The time.
d - The date.
p - The current directory of the default drive.
v - The version number.
n - The default drive letter (DOS prompt defaults to this).
g - The ">" character.

q - The "=" character.
The PROMPT command with no parameters will reset the prompt to the
normal prompt.

PROMPT $P$G would display the current drive and directory. For
example: F:\HANDLER>_
PROMPT would change the DOS prompt to the standard: F:>_
