It's neither. Default MG has nothing to do with the PRompts that Editor
generates. Rather, it's a way to put your own MessaGe on the PRompt line,
which displays whenever an error message is NOT there. You issue D/NV
MG=Phone home! [or whatever] to put the MessaGe (if you omit /NV
the MessaGe will be all CAPS), and D MG= to remove it.
There's no VAriable that captures the last-displayed PRompt, alas.
