Prolog not showing full list of answer

When I run query human(Who). on the below .pl file

human(ann).
human(george).
human(mike).

I only get back Who = ann .

Instead of 

Who = ann ;
Who = george ;
Who = mike.

Am using prolog 6.6.6. How do I get it to show the full list?

Solution

  • The answer you got was the following. Do you note the space before the dot?

    Who = ann .
         ^ SPACE!!!

    This space means: The query was aborted. Maybe you typed return. Or maybe you have a somewhat illconfigured terminal.

    To better check this, try:

    ?- X = 1 ; X = 2 ; X = 3.

    There you should get all three answers, too. If not, it is definitely your terminal
