ThisDrawing.Utility.Prompt

works.. but it stands on the same line...i am not able to get a carriage return.

ThisDrawing.Utility.Prompt "Hello" & vbCrLf

Inner's reply has the right idea, but you will end up with a blank line, no command prompt. It might be what you want, but if you want a clean command prompt, I wrote this function to do just that.
********
Command: vbastmt

Expression: CommandLine "this is a test"
this is a test
Command:
***********


Sub CommandLine(msg As String)
ThisDrawing.Utility.Prompt (msg & vbCrLf & "Command: ")
End Sub

That worked ..thanks a lot...
But why vbcr/ vbcrlf not giving the same result.. I am not able to make out…

vbCrLf just puts you at the beginning of the next line. So you have to add "Command: " to it to make it look right.
