- Prompt(REL2) ARP User's Manual Prompt(REL2)

-
- NAME
- Prompt - set the current CLI prompt
-
- SYNOPSIS
- Prompt "NEW PROMPT"
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Prompt sets a new prompt for the CLI. If you use Prompt with
- no argument, it resets the cli prompt to the default prompt.
- ARP's prompt recognizes two special characters %N, which
- will be displayed as the current process number, and %p,
- which will be displayed as the current directory. If you
- use %p in a prompt string, successive CD will also change
- the prompt. The total length of a prompt string, including
- the directory name, is limited to 69 characters. This is a
- CLI limitation which ARP must currently struggle against.
-
- EXAMPLE
- Prompt "%N %p"
-
- If the current directory is Workbench: this prompt string
- will display
-
- 1 Workbench:>
-
- ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
- In order for the %p feature of prompt to work, you must also
- be using the ARP CD command, since these two commands work
- together to handle the prompt display in this case.
