Routine Name:
setprompt
Description:
Sets string to use as prompt for GENESIS shell.
Usage:
setprompt prompt-string
prompt-string
string to use as shell prompt (default:
"genesis #!", where "!" is replaced by
command number); if you want to use a string
that includes blank spaces, you must include
the prompt in quotation marks to make the
string a single argument (additional
arguments are ignored)
Example:
genesis #13 > setprompt tutorial
tutorial > setprompt "tutorial !"
tutorial 15 >
Notes:
a
When starting up GENESIS the command line will appear as
prompt waiting for user input.
genesis #0 >
The number contained in the prompt refers to the index of the
command which is incremented for each line entered from the
keyboard. This number can be used in conjunction with the
'history' recall mechanism to re-execute commands based on
their index. [Note that GENESIS starts with 0 rather than
1.]
The prompt string displayed in the command interpreter window
can be set using the setprompt routine. Specific simulations
often wish to change the prompt to reflect the nature of the
simulation.
