A less annoying DOS prompt.

Splits the prompt into multiple lines and identifies the current user / hostname.

The actual prompt line is only preceded by a greater-than followed by a space,
making commands typed significantly more readable.

A line of dashes cleanly separates the prompt from output from a previous command.

SET PROMPT=--------------------$_%USERNAME%@%computername% $_$M$p$_$_$+$g$S
