System Prompt (>) - Superdos; Bye - Activant Dimensions Getting Started

System Prompt (>) - SuperDOS
The system prompt for the SuperDOS operating system is
referred to as simply "the prompt". This symbol appears on the far left side of the
screen after you enter a valid password indicating you have logged on successfully
or after ending from the Main Menu indicating you are ready to log off the
password. It indicates that SuperDOS is ready for you to enter the next
command.
There are many commands that can be entered at the system prompt. For now,
you need to know only two--BYE and M.

BYE

When entered at the system prompt and followed by pressing Enter, this
command logs off the password and returns the terminal to the PASSWORD
screen. For example:
>BYE
It terminates the session under any password. You can also enter simply B and
press Enter.
There is a shortcut using BYE to log off one password and log on another with one
command. Enter BYE, one space, the password with which you wish to log on,
and press Enter. For example:
>BYE SAMPLE
This command logs off the old password and logs on the new password SAMPLE.
Make sure to leave a space after BYE and before the new password.
M
"M" stands for menu. When entered at the system prompt and followed by
pressing Enter, this command displays the Dimensions Main Menu again (or the
last menu displayed before falling out to the system prompt).

NOTE: Most passwords are set up so that the menu shows immediately after entering the
password rather than go to the system prompt. This saves you a step when signing on
the computer.
