both the bottom of the command window and your cursor. Because

TIP You can also start the Line by typing LINE or L and pressing the
enter key, space bar, or the right mouse button.

The prompt now tells you that the LINE command is started
(Command: _line) and that AutoCAD is waiting for you to designate
the first point of the line (Specify first point:) .
