I am having trouble getting PROMPT to read %E (encumbrance). The display shows everything else but not the encumbrance. Here is my prompt;
prompt %h/%H %v/%V %t/%T %w %E %s %p
I have tried \n command thinking the PROMPT was too long. That didn't work.
Ideas?
I'm not an expert but first I'd check if you can just set your prompt to %E. Try it through telnet as well as your main client. I think 99% of the time people have problems like this, their client is parsing something and eating their input in some subtle way.
Yes. PROMPT %E shows light. Now what?
Have you tried rearranging the order (e.g. put %E before %w)? I know that shouldn't matter, but if %E works by itself, then it seems like that alone isn't the issue.
It works on no position and now it doesn't work as the lone command following the prompt.
.
Sounds like a bug and something you should try to replicate, log, and send in?
I'm using zmud and I got it to work by turning off parsing. It seems to work. I have no idea what parsing is or isn't.
I use Zmud. Parsing is needed for your aliases to work.
Sorry about that. I am using cmud on this computer.

Turned the parsing back on and works fine now. Thanks to all of you.
