The prompt is the line that your inputted script/commandline commands get appended to after you send them to the game. According to the snipped you gave, it looks like yours is (the underscore represents where the cursor would be):

> _

In most cases, there are numbers and other useful information in the prompt, but some games go with simple ones like yours. These games generally have some sort of PROMPT/BPROMPT command that lets you customize them, but if yours doesn't have such a command you can always make a trigger that does the same thing.
