I thought I'd post this anyway, but I feel like a bit of a dunce. However
"set prompt" isn't quite correct either. If the prompt variable doesn't
exist, which by default it doesn't on 8400s, then you can't set it. So
instead you need to do a:
P00>>> create -nv prompt "_FRED>>>"
P00_FRED>>>
And from here on in you can use "set" to change it. I also believe you need
to have the console in advanced mode to create variables.

Once upon a time I could remember how to set a prefix to the console prompt
on an 8400, but alas my memory is fading and I can't remember any more. Can
anybody refresh my weary brain?
Just to weed out floods of "try set prompt", as on 4100s - it's not! There's
a specific, and obviously undocumented, console variable set from advanced
mode that you can prefix onto the `P00>>` default prompt. I know you can do
it because I've set it up on a 4 node multi-site VMS cluster.
Thanks,
Dave Campbell
