tput cup 21 1 ; echo "Press ENTER to continue. . . "
read prompt
Nowhere do I see "prompt" define.
How is shell reading prompt? I'm so used to writing code in SAS, COBOL, etc where everything has to be defined.
Thank you
prompt is initialized with the read command giving prompt the value entered at the keyboard, here its effect is to make the user interract ( since it display "Press enter to continue")...
