System Prompts - Unix

There are several system prompts used in a Unix system. Sometimes they are
referred to as simply "the prompt".
One of these symbols appears on the far left side of the screen after you enter a
valid password indicating you have logged in successfully or after ending from the
Dimensions Main Menu indicating you are ready to log off the password. It
indicates that Unix 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--exit and m.

exit

When entered at the system prompt and followed by pressing Enter, this
command logs off the password and returns the terminal to the login screen. For
example:
#exit
It terminates the session under any 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.
