P.S. Here's a RFE we thought of today when we found a F330 had halted. The "ok" prompt should be changed to "Hey, I'm not ok!" or "boot level:" :)
The "ok" prompt has historical reasons. It is the prompt of a FORTH compiler/interpreter. I don't know if you're aware that you can write yourself some very nice diagnostic routines you can store in NVRAM and run tem from the "ok" prompt. Changing the prompt to something else would be confusing, as it would readily indicate that it is a FORTH machine.
