Location in prompt / meaning `

Hi everybody,

I'm new to this and I was trying out some basic UNIX-commands on my MacBook (Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3).
However suddenly the prompt line is changed.
The prompt used to be: macbookname username$
Suddenly the prompt is changed and has now the location in it. So now it is: macbookname:Foldername user$
The foldername changes to the folder I'm currently in.
I have a clue about what this has caused, I made a mistake by typing in cd ` instead of cd ~ The ` is the grave accent.
I can't find anywhere on the internet what cd ` does or what the single ` means in UNIX.
So basically I have 2 questions:
1) How do I remove the location (Foldername) out of this line?
2) What does cd ` mean and has that something to do with what happened.?


Thinks for any help.

XHPAcknowledge(3X)														XHPAcknowledge(3X)

NAME
XHPAcknowledge - Send an Acknowledge to an extended input device. SYNOPSIS
#include <X11/XHPlib.h> int XHPAcknowledge (display, deviceid, acknowledge) Display *display; XID deviceid; int acknowledge; ARGUMENTS
display Specifies the connection to the X server. deviceid Specifies the ID of the desired device. acknowledge Specifies the acknowledge to be sent. Valid values are: GENERAL_ACKNOWLEDGE, ACKNOWLEDGE_1, ACKNOWLEDGE_2, ACKNOWLEDGE_3, ACKNOWLEDGE_4, ACKNOWLEDGE_5, ACKNOWLEDGE_6, ACKNOWLEDGE_7. DESCRIPTION
This request is part of an HP-proprietary extension to X. Its functionality has been superseded by the standard XChangeFeedbackControl request. You should use XChangeFeedbackControl instead of XHPAcknowledge if possible. This request sends an acknowledge to an input device. This allows a previously received prompt to be turned off. A prompt is an audio or visual indication that the program controlling the input device is ready for input. The LED on an HP46086A buttonbox is an example of a prompt. A program may indicate its status by turning on a prompt on the appropriate input device. Not all input devices support prompts and acknowledges. Any device that does support a particular prompt will also support the corresponding acknowledge. To determine whether an input device supports a particular prompt and acknowledge, the io_byte field of the XHPDeviceList structure should be examined. The format of this structure is described in the documentation for the XHPListInputDevices request. RETURN VALUE
none DIAGNOSTICS
BadDevice An invalid device ID was specified. BadValue An invalid acknowledge was specified. FILES
/usr/include/X11/XHPlib.h ORIGIN
