Command Prompt is an external interface for use with the MirageOS shell.
It is a command line entry user interface, which has all the functionality
of the Built-In Interface. To load the Command Prompt, send "mircmdp.8xp"
to your TI-83 Plus (preferably in archive memory). Then goto the MirageOS
options, choose Set System Interface, and check the Run External GUI box.
Finally, go choose Select Interface File, and press left/right until Command
Prompt is displayed. Press Alpha to exit the Options, and the Command Prompt
will start.
When Command Prompt first starts you will see something like this:
Welcome To MirageOS

<MAIN> tells you
that the current folder is MAIN. When you switch folders in the Command Prompt
