If I understand you correctly, "Shell Mode" has a command prompt that looks like one of the following. Can you tell us which one?

grub>

yourusername@yourhost:~$

root@yourhost:~#

The command prompt is the part of the line before the part you can type/change. If it doesn't look like any of the above, can you tell us what it does look like or, better yet, type it out?

Yes it has a command prompt. It's like MS-DOS. You can do trace and other commands. I was something like Debian 1.3 something like that.
