Hello, Immediately try vo+up-arrowing and you should get the prompt. Do it again and you will get the end of the output from the last command.
If it dings at you instead, then simply interact and then the text will be there. I use the terminal probably 12 hours a day, as I do all of my programming in terminal on my remote server.
