It could be confusing.  Previously, the prompt was

  Send signal [TERM]

So it was much more clear that "TERM" refers to "signal" and vice
versa.  Now we have "3 processes" in the way, and someone could think
"TERM" refers to the processes or something.

How about this instead:

  Signal N processes with [SIGTERM]:

Note that I deliberately added the "SIG" part so that it would be more
clear this is the name of a signal.
