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~~'^
