I found this discussion that includes some references to modules people have created to simulate that functionality. Perhaps one of those would work for you.

Otherwise, you might want to use a different development environment for the part of the course that uses prompt, alert, or confirm. The workspaces are handy and intended for that purpose.

Here is an example of a module that people have come up with in response to alert(), prompt(), confirm() functions not working on Atom. I'm sure there's more out there, but in all honesty, I would just use the Treehouse workspaces, or utilize another text editor such as Visual Studio Code (my personal favorite), or Brackets.
