| | Command prompt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A command prompt (or just prompt) is a character or string of characters used in a command line interface to indicate that the computer is ready to accept typed input. | | | Command prompts usually end with characters such as $, #, : or > and often include other information, such as the path of the current working directory. | | | On Unix systems, the $PS1 variable can be used, although other variables also may have an impact on what appears on the screen (depending on what shell is being used). |

| | Command line interpreter - definition of Command line interpreter in Encyclopedia |
| | A command line interpreter is a computer program which reads lines of text that the user types and interprets them in the context of a given operating system or programming language. | | | This requires the user to know the names of the commands and their parameters, and the syntax of the language that is interpreted. | | | For some complex tasks they are more difficult to use than a command line interface, because of the large number of menus and dialog boxes presented, and the innate difficulty of representing the underlying task pictorially. |

| | Beginners Guides: WindowsXP Command Prompt - PCStats.com |
| | The command prompt, a purely text-driven interface, is still present at the core of Windows XP, and it contains many options that are not otherwise accessible without third-party software, but which most 'experts' could not live without. | | | Back in the heyday of text-based operating systems like Unix and DOS, the command prompt was the operating system, and not knowing how to use it meant that you could not really use your system without someone experienced in computing holding your hand. | | | Since comprehensive manuals are no longer included with computers to detail all these commands, it's up to you to find the answers on your own. |
