Mudschool in coffeemud shows you when you get to the correct room about its config options. For some reason coffeemud throws ansi and that messes up screen displays. Prompts usually hang out near the bottom of the screen if you set lines and columns correctly too. That way those can either be avoided or turned off by setting a window on the screen reader that doesn't include those prompt lines and using that window for operations. Remember coffeemud like many other bad things on the internet was written in java so won't be as easily maintainable as earlier languages with deeper internet documentation. It's interesting to me that coffeemud having been written in java works as well as it does.
