prompt sets the prompt
[When to use it] When you are tired of the c:\> prompt, or if you want your prompt to be different from others,
give it a try. It's a very interesting DOS command, and it can display the time and date at any time.
[Usage] prompt $p$g uses the current directory name and the > sign as the prompt; this is the most commonly used prompt
prompt $t means time prompt $d means date
prompt $$ means $ prompt $q means =
prompt $v means the current version prompt $l means prompt wang$g uses wang> as the prompt
WANG>prompt $t$d$g uses time, date, and the > sign as the prompt
0:01:07.77Thu 08-29-1996>prompt $p$g
C:\DOS>
