Greetings this is the first post I have ever created in my life and i Don't know if this is even the right place to ask questions but i was wondering what a command prompt is? Please comment ASAP even if its an insult (preferably constructive criticism) so i cna gain an understanding of this complex forum world.

Not a bad first post and this is indeed the place for questions.

If you mean in-game, it probably refers to slash commands such as /invite name or /leaveteam. In general computing terms it's when you have a line from which you can run commands, such as the Run command in Windows. If it's the technical computing info you want, then Technical Issues would be a better forum. I about used up my IT knowledge writing this paragraph.

Some info on how your planning on using a cmd prompt would be helpful, but it's bascially an avenue to interact with a computer program, using text symbols, to achieve a change or result from the program your interacting with. Clear as mud huh???

Sorry My Specific problem was that a forum named Sandolphan's Revised MM Numpad Pet Controls had shortcuts for MM petcom binds that it directed the user to copy onto word pad and then from there to something called a [ QUOTE ]
Command Prompt

[/ QUOTE ] so that the user didn't have to type in the whole bind chain. They seem to speak of it as an area that you can copy and paste to but my understanding of command prompts was essentially the same as what u guys stated.
