Hello, teachers:
I asked a question on-line, and then I gto the answer immediatley.
I say "Thanks for your prompt clarification".
I am wondering if I can say "Thanks for your real-time clarification."
Is it idiomatic?
Thanks a lot!

I wouldn't say it. What do you think it brings to the sentence that "prompt" doesn't?
 
I am learning the phrase "real-time".

I leanered that it means immediately.
So I am wondering if they are interchangable.
Thanks a lot!

in real time is an idiom meaning immediately. So you can say:
Thanks for your clarification in real time.
Why do you want to use three words instead of one(prompt) that has better clarity and efficiency?
 
Thanks for your clarifications.
It's very helpful.
I just learned a new phrase"real-time" and I am wondering how to use the phrase.
Therefore, I posted my question.
I have learned another idiom.
Thanks again!
