command prompt

Use instead of C prompt, command-line prompt, or system prompt.

Command prompt refers only to a prompt itself. For example, C:> is a command prompt. The window in which a command prompt appears is the Command Prompt window. Note the capitalization.

Don't refer to the Command Prompt window as a console window except in content for a technical audience.

Describe entering commands at a command prompt, not on a command line.

Example
At the command prompt, enter certutil -setreg ca.
