sorry, I thought I thought I had being clear enougth.

the prompt only appears if you have defined "*uservars=3D" in
plan9.ini.

so, when booting after you selected a menu entry (if there is one)
what you see is this:

key=3Dvalue - set key to value
h - print help message
p - print variable table
q - quit prompt
set var:

after entering =B4q=B4 and hitting return, the boot process continues as us=
ually.
