What does で mean when asked as a question?


I've come across several instances in manga where the simple question of "で?"
is used. What could it mean? I'm guessing it means something like "Is that
so?," but I'm not sure.




It's basically a shortening of それで何？, meaning something along the lines of
'and so...?' or 'then what?' It asks for either a continuation of the thought
(especially in a story or something else temporally organised) or a conclusion
(as in 'what you just said is setting something up, what is it?').
