Answer 1

To create an SWI-Prolog terminal within Visual Studio Code, the process is the same as starting an SWI-Prolog terminal from a DOS prompt but you just start by creating an initial terminal in VSC.

1. Using VSC menu Terminal > New Terminal
   or Ctrl+Shift+`

2. Start SWI-Prolog from the command line using swipl

If you have an existing terminal open and want to add another terminal then in the upper right of the terminal

click on + and then at the command prompt > enter swipl.

Your terminal selector will now have an added swipl option.
