7/9/98 Using ROM-DOS 6.22 2-11
T h e S y s t e m P r o m p t
After execution of each operation, ROM-DOS waits for your next
instruction. In this state, you will see the system prompt on your
monitor.
By using the PROMPT command you can specify the information to be
displayed in the prompt. Until you define the prompt otherwise, it
includes only the letter name of the default disk drive and a right arrow
(>). For example:
A>
One common choice for prompt line configuration is to include the
default path in addition to the drive name and right arrow (>). After
customization, your prompt looks like this:
a:\UTIL>
For more information, see PROMPT in Chapter 3.
T h e C o m m a n d L i n e
Your keystrokes begin just to the right of the system prompt. The line
of instruction you type at the prompt is called the command line.
Editing the Command Line
The characters of the last command entered on the command line are
stored in a command line buffer and can be edited for re-entry.
