During the time you are running a program on the console, you are unable
to get a colon prompt on the console. However, you can still review and
reply to media requests. At the console, press the CTRL and A
keys simultaneously to display the equal-sign (=) prompt. In response
to the equal-sign prompt, you can issue either the RECALL or the
REPLY command, described in the preceding sections. This feature is
useful, for example, when running a program such as STORE which you
expect will take a long time to complete.
