Prompt A message displayed on the computer screen that tells you what action you need to perform next. RAM Random Access Memory. The portion of the computer's memory used to run programs and store data while you work. All data stored in RAM is erased when you turn off the computer; so you must store any data you want to save on a diskette or hard disk. Read To copy data from one area to another. For example, when you open a text file stored on disk, the computer reads the data from the disk and displays it on the screen.
