In Maple, the user types in commands at the prompt. After typing Enter , Maple will display any relevant output and then a new prompt will appear. Note that typing Enter on a Windows computer means using either the regular Enter key on the keyboard or the Enter key on the number pad. However, on a Macintosh, the key on the keyboard is a Return key, not an Enter key . On a Macintosh, you must use the Enter key on the number pad for Maple to process a command.
Input is typed at the prompt.
Text is information that is not actually processed by Maple. It is usually used for comments. To add text, you can turn a prompt into a text field. With the cursor at the prompt, click on the I nsert menu and select Te x t Input . If you are in a text field and you want to return to the prompt, make sure that you start a new line in your text.
