[NEWBIE] prompt code help

From: Carlton Colter (carlton@COLTER.COM)

Please help.  My prompt works, but when at the menu or logging in it
displays the "] " as part of the prompt.  I'm not sure what I did wrong.
It used to show the [Return to continue bit.  I got it not to display
that.  When I write a message (i.e. mail or post) I still want it to show
the "] " but not any of the other places.

Thanx - S.D.

char *make_prompt(struct descriptor_data *d)
{
  static char prompt[MAX_PROMPT_LENGTH];

  /* Note, prompt is truncated at MAX_PROMPT_LENGTH chars (structs.h) */
  if (d->str) {
    if (d->character)
      if (PLR_FLAGGED(d->character, PLR_WRITING) && STATE(d)==CON_PLAYING)
        strcpy(prompt, "] ");   /* strcpy: OK (for 'MAX_PROMPT_LENGTH >=
3') */
  } else if (d->showstr_count && STATE(d)==CON_PLAYING) {
    snprintf(prompt, sizeof(prompt),
            "\r\n[ Return to continue, (q)uit, (r)efresh, (b)ack, or page
number (%d/%d) ]",
            d->showstr_page, d->showstr_count);
  } else if (STATE(d) == CON_PLAYING && !IS_NPC(d->character)) {
    return prompt_str(d->character);
  }
  return (prompt);
}
