In UV 10.0.x and above (IIRC), the COMMAND.EDITOR was ported from Prime INFORMATION/PIOpen (albeit with more than a few bugs!). This command allows you to change the TCL prompt with a character string of your choice...
>COMMAND.EDITOR ON ALL "MyAccount> " MyAccount> COMMAND.EDITOR Allows you to use function keys (like cursor keys) to edit not your command-line (TCL), but also in BASIC programs (ie. at INPUT statements/prompts). It is also good for new users who keep press all those functions keys that do nothing except insert escape sequences everywhere! :-) Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have implement all the nice features of the PI version and the keyboard mapping only seems to support "fundamental mode" (EMACS-style control-keys). Oh, well - you can't have everything!

If it helps, I can assert with certainty that there is nothing in UniVerse that allows this. It's easy enough to roll your own; a small BASIC program into which you trap your users.
