Ah, if I only had that skill.

^^^^^^^^^^^^ this is probably a mistake; should be part of the
while() regex. I suspect it might be here because the author could not make
the regex below match correctly.

Yes, in this example. I wanted to show the original file, not something that I
modded. In my current version, the line is
$prompt = ">>|#"
which works, but causes the problem of the config getting truncated because it
sees "#" as the prompt. The $prompt should either be the entire thing or some
string that ends in #.

Looking, but I don't see anywhere that it defines the prompt. It uses it a lot,
but doesn't define it.
