But PROMPT does not mind using OFF as a parm; it is ignored. In batch files
or scripts, it is a judgment call whether you want to include this as a
means of documenting authorial intention or actual effect, rather than make
your maintainer have to look up the default value, if unknown. Of course,
the maintainer may be even more confused by the unneeded, ineffectual and
ignored parm. Personally, I include them on the toggle commands.
