Review comment:
I think the confusing thing for me is that: In the old shell/console
implementation, the old shell tick command controlled the tick that was printed
out by console. So if you had ticks off then you wouldn't see any ticks in the
prompt at all. Now the console tick is controlled by syscfg only. And the ticks
command in the new shell actually adds another tick prompt to it. So the output
looks like this now:
```
007953 prompt> ticks on
008517 Console Ticks on
008517 8517> > ticks off
042377 Console Ticks off
042377 prompt> ticks on
043620 Console Ticks on
043620 43620> >
```
So I thought it would be good to explain that in the tutorial.
