'''Prompt''' - Changes the prompt for the current CLI/Shell

PROMPT
<nowiki>
PROMPT - New prompt string</nowiki>
The default prompt string is: "%N.%S>"
which displays the Shell number, a period, the current directory,
a right angle-bracket, and a space. Entering Prompt without
a string argument resets the prompt to this default.

The substitutions available for the <PROMPT> string are:
<nowiki>
%N - Displays the process number for the Shell
%S - Displays the current directory
%R - Displays the return code for the last operation</nowiki>
NOTE: a space is not automatically added to the end of the string. If you want a space between the prompt and typed-in text, place it in the string, and enclose the string in double quotation marks.

NOTE2: You can embed commands in the prompt string by enclosing the command in back apostrophes (`).

Example:
<nowiki>
1> PROMPT "%N.%S.%R>"
1.MorphOS:Apps.0></nowiki>
* the Shell number,
* current directory,
* return code of the previous command
