We've had a convention of not including the prompt at all. This is different from other UNIX documentation. However, I don't think anyone has complained. My guess is, the prompt was dropped for clarity sake? In RH docs, we use <prompt> only when specifically discussing the prompt, otherwise it's left out for visual clarity, I reckon. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE * Sr. Tech Writer * http://people.redhat.com/kwade/ gpg fingerprint: 2680 DBFD D968 3141 0115 5F1B D992 0E06 AD0E 0C41 Red Hat SELinux Guide http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/selinux-guide/
