Maybe I'm forgetting everything, but I don't think it used to work like this: extra blank lines have started to appear after the previous prompt whenever the mud sends some text. If I do something like moving, there's no extra line between prompts. I have COMPACT mode on, which according to the help file removes the line break preceding the prompt.

In the case of it having always been like this, I'd humbly request a change to COMPACT mode to remove any blank lines between prompts. =]


- 1st example me moving with no extra lines between prompts:

<prompt> w
Sumner's Crossroads
Vast plains stretch to the horizon in every direction except the southwest,
where a large forest of tall, dark trees rises up from the grassy expanses.
Roads from the four cardinal directions meet here at Sumner's Crossroads,
though the traffic is not as heavy here as it would be nearer to one of
the large cities. The wagons going to and from the various cities that
lie in all four directions cause a fairly steady flow of people, though
there are no buildings in sight in any direction to break the sea of grass.


A sign points east towards Voralian City and west towards Dagdan.


- 2nd example of mud sending text, weather+time changing followed by a PC arriving, both with the extra line above the echo:

<prompt>

It starts to rain.
The sun sets below the horizon.
<prompt>

A PC has arrived.
<prompt>


- 3rd example of an autosave causing TWO extra blank lines before it:

<prompt>


Autosaving.
