input aid


Explanation:
The standard translation for Eingabe is input. On the German language version of WIN you can find the term used for the DOS prompt window.
As far as I know the English term normally used is input aid or simply prompt. Any other suggestions?

Explanation:
This is MFP; the comment is too long to fit in a peer comment field.

The text apparently relates to a programming environment, and I suspect that 'Eingabehilfe' is not a 'thing' but instead a function or feature.

see e.g.:

that should read 'NFP' = not for points
