There must be an easy way to get back to the command mode? And what
is the "...>" mode?
"...>" is a continuation prompt. It allows you to type a long query on
multiple lines. The shell does a simple parsing to see whether the text
so far forms a complete statement - essentially, it looks for the final
semicolon.
To get out of this mode, simply type a semicolon and hit Enter. Whatever
you typed so far will be interpreted as a statement, most likely
resulting in a syntax error.
