It can be put in ``old-style'' user-interface compatibility +mode (in which case it shows a simple `>' prompt), but this is essentially +useless. However, by default the rom runs in old-mode; to enter new-mode type `n'. +The rom then shows a Forth-style `ok' prompt. It is recommended to have +the rom always start in its native ``new-style'' mode.
