prompt
A symbol or signal from the shell or a program that tells the user the system is waiting for input. "C:\>" is the standard MSDOS prompt while "$" is a typical prompt on UNIX systems. When using the Python interpreter interactively, the prompt is ">>>". The program will usually wait for the user to enter a command and hit Enter before it processes the user's instructions.[Edit this page] [Page history] [What links here] [Discuss this topic] [Printer Friendly]
