\Yes, there is a way to get sed to do this, but you have to be

\If sed had a way of handling an EOF without quitting, the

My first sed attempt can easily be fixed to handle partial matches at EOF
properly:

sed -n '
        /^PROMPT>$/{
		$p
                h
                n
                H
                /^>$/{
			$b eof
                        n
                        /^<$/b
                        H
                }
		: eof
                g
        }
        p
'
