Found this in my archives, and posted to
http://code.midrange.com/bf5cd6fb33.html. It's the nearest I have come to a
blank-line separator in a command prompt. Actually, it's not too bad, but
not an exact match for OP.

"Where a calculator on the ENIAC is equpped with 18,000 vaccuum tubes and
weighs 30 tons, computers in the future may have only 1,000 vaccuum tubes
and perhaps weigh 1 1/2 tons."
-- Popular Mechanics, March 1949



IBM does something very close to this in some of their commands.
(Check out
DSPLOG <F4> and notice the "prompts" for "start time and date" and "end
time
and date." If those were blank "prompts," it would be as you describe.)
I
have not been able to duplicate the effect, though I did put a small
amount
of time into the effort a few years ago.

Tax: (n) A fine for doing well.


I would like to imbed a blank line in my user-defined command prompt
to
separate the first set of parms from the second. Am I just missing
something here? Is there a simple way to do this? I've searched the
archives and googled it to death but (to quote a famous rabbit who
just
had
a birthday), "No soap doc".

Not a major biggie - it's just irritating the livin' poobie-joobies
outta
me!

Thoughts?

TIA,

TA
