Note: If you specify either 0 for the
PROMPT device parameter or NOPROMPT in a GOPTIONS statement for a display
device, the display clears immediately after the graph is drawn.
In the GDEVICE Parameters window, the PROMPT parameter consists of four fields that describe the type of prompt:
start up
end of graph
mount pens
change paper
Enter an X for each prompt that you want to be given. If no Xs appear in these fields, no prompt messages are issued, and the device does not wait for you to respond between graphs.
