PROMPT The PROMPT command is used by the TACL code to create a prompt. So,
while you are in a TEDIT session, you might be prompted for information,
or you can enter responses to a prompt to get information.
Note The PROMPT command can only be given from the TACL code, not from a TEDIT prompt.

TEXT
adds another (text field) prompt. Each prompt can contain 99 text fields.
HELP
builds a short help text and creates a HELP topic.
CLEAR
clears all previous TEXT and HELP information. You must specify this
to build other prompts.
text
is any string of text that you want displayed in the prompt field.
rlen
is a reply field length in characters. You must specify a whole numeric
value; for example, 2, 50, and 1. TEDIT ignores rlen when it is used with
the HELP parameter. If 0 is specified for this field, the remaining line is
used. If rlen is omitted, then there is no reply.
