My office mate uses "   " and works on an HP terminal.  This way he can
use the ENTER key to resend a line (modified by local editing) and not
get complaints about "$: not found".

I work on three machines networked by DATAKIT.  The default prompts are
set to 'A$ ', 'B$ ', & 'C$ '. I use "a: ".  I used 'A> ' for a while, which
preserves a bit of continuity (my terminal is a PC), but I decided it
was ugly.

You don't usually expect that kind of behavior in a major appliance.
