Description:
If you are in the command line client and put an openning ` but not a closing one on a single line, then it goes into multiline editting mode for the backtick.  However it will display the incorrect prompt and instead display the double quote prompt and not a backtick prompt.

How to repeat:
shell> mysql
mysql> use `test;
    "> "
    "> `
    -> \c

Suggested fix:
It should display a prompt similar to `> when it needs a closing backtick.

See attached file against current 4.0 tree.
