new empty line in cmd

When I open cmd, the default value is:: C:>Users\otariki>

When I press ENTER on keyboard, one new line is written C:>Users\otariki>

In new line, I do not need the C:>Users\otariki> string. I need an empty line. Please tell me how to do this?

You can type

echo off

into the CMD window, so it will not prompt you at all but you can still type in commands.

You can use PROMPT $H to get the appearance of what you want.

Each line will be empty, starting in the 1st position.

But in reality each line will start with <backspace><space><backspace>

This is the "PROMPT" variable, you cant set it to nothing when its nothing it defaults to the one you had.. nearest you can have is a space.. but.. prompts are useful, indicates the command finished and isnt just waiting, as well as normally tells you where you are.
