:Definitely not.  A command prompt is a very different thing from a computer terminal.  A computer terminal might, or might not, have a command prompt.  N2e 21:01, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No way, for the same reasons as N2e. The best you can do is to mention in Computer terminal is that a command prompt is often used in a command line interface. +mwtoews 22:37, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

text: No as per above. The merge tags were not directional (directional tags will direct people to a single talk page and tell people which article you want to remain at the end) and I did not find any justification on the talk page of computer terminal or in the edit summary adding the tags and forgot to check this talk page, so I have already removed the tag. I think it can remain removed given the comments. -- Kjkolb 13:17, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

*I mostly support this. The context of this article explains a command prompt exclusively in the context for a [[, in particular when using abstract computer devices, such as a CR10KD, which is a (mostly) numeric keypad and numeric LCD screen which you type numeric commands at a command prompt to control a data logger. These things are bizarre, and have nothing in common with a typical command line interface, but it still has a command prompt in a way. Unless there are other command prompts out there that could validate a non-CLI command prompt article, much of this section can be manually moved over to Command line interface, and explained there.+mwtoews 22:37, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
