    sp '<string>'
    "set prompt"
    
    DESCRIPTION:
        'sp' is a special command for use with "Ce aware" programs. A program is
        "Ce  aware" if it is the program executing under a ceterm and it  wishes
        to make use of Ce features from within the program.

        The  effect of the sp command is to disengage the UNIX window  from  the
        transcript  window,  set  the prompt in the Unix window  to  the  passed
        value,  and  disable  password  hiding (dot) mode.   What  is  meant  by
        disengaging  the UNIX  window, is that normal prompts sent to ceterm  by
        the program are not displayed in the UNIX window.  Instead they are just
        held until they are newline terminated and then output to the transcript
        window.   A  normal prompt is a line not terminated by a  newline,  This
        allows the program to control the prompt independent of what is going on
        in the transcript.

        For  example, if a program running under a ceterm is monitoring a  piece
        of  hardware  and generating statistics about that hardware and  putting
        them  in the transcript pad, output may be continually scrolling in  the
        window.  This is independent from the collection of commands in the Unix
        window.
  
        This command is not used in normal day to day use.
