how to 'block' the prompt

I use Xemacs

It's not one of your tricks, it's the same for me.
You can type a command without the prompt.
However, it will work only if it's the *last* line of the buffer.
With a prompt but at a *previous* line, it says "(return to confirm)" and
copies the current line to the last line.
Without a prompt, at a previous line: "No command on this line"

Moreover, without the prompt (wherever you are), you cannot always use the
history
It's very strange. At the prompt, press backspace. You can still use
history.

At the prompt, go just before the prompt (on the left), press delete, you
cannot use the history

At the prompt, go just before the prompt , press Ctrl+delelte (delete
line), you CAN use history.

So, the prompt matters, but in a strange way...
