Syntax: PROMPT new_prompt
@end example
@pindex Prompt

The current prompt is replaced by @code{new_prompt}; the default is
@code{:}. Any occurrences of
the character `*' are taken as instructions to ring the terminal bell.
When you start SM your prompt is set to the value of the entry
@code{prompt} in your @file{.sm} file (if you have one).
@findex .sm, prompt

If you enter a partial command (e.g. @code{macro foo @{} or @code{echo ABC\})
SM switches to a different prompt. By default this is @code{>>}, but if you
define the variable @code{prompt2} that will be used instead. You can
set @code{prompt2} in your @file{.sm} file.
@findex .sm, prompt2
