That's not the question you asked! If it's *your* PRompt, you have complete control over it. Whether the PRompt displays or is wiped out is solely a question of placement within the program. The  statement should be the last thing before , and in any event should not be followed by a function (which wipes out the PRompt). CLEARSGT is not a problem. Just save the PRompt text to a transient S/G not in range 50-59 (which CLEARSGT uses), then issue the PRompt after CLEARSGT is done.

~'% <== Your PRompt text
~'JM2.clearsgt'Q2
~'% <== Your PRompt displayed
~'^

Or simply:

~'JM2.clearsgt'Q2~~'^
