Not only does it truncate the prompt string after the %p escape, it also adds a
greater-than sign ">" with no space following, so you get hard to read screens
with lines like:

Workbench:>cd Extras:
Extras:>dir

etc.  I wouldn't be too concerned, though, since this one is easy enough to
fix, and I'm sure the uSmiths folk will take care of it in the next release.
Be seeing you...
