        Will set your prompt to "<10hp 100m 100mv>"

Another example: prompt %B%S%h/%H %m/%M %v (%X)%W%F%>
        Will set your prompt to
        "AEdit 66% 10/200 20/300 40 (3213) 12w (Foe: Wounds) >"
        Meaning: you are in the area editor, fighting a mobile,
        you have 12 waitstates, need 3213 xp to level, your opponent
        has 66% of his/her maxhit, and his/her condition is wounds.
        When you are not the tank, the %F option also shows the condition
        of the tank.

If a '*' is displayed in your prompt it means that your enemy is
waitstated.  A '+' means that you're in magic casting delay.

PROMPT OVERWRITE toggles the overwrite prompt option, if your client
supports it (e.g. TinyFugue does).  The overwrite option uses 'telnetga'
sequences.
