## Command Line

You can enter commands in the command line at the command prompt (`===>`).

Some system commands may also be available via PF keys or via the main menu.

## NEXT Prompt

The `NEXT` prompt appears in a Natural application or program when no more output is pending.

## MORE Prompt

The `MORE` prompt is displayed at the bottom of an output screen to signal that more output is pending. When a system command is entered in response to a `MORE` prompt, program execution is interrupted and the system command is executed.
