You need to set the second and third fields in SYSTEM(4002).
0001: STELPROMPT = @WHO : '>'
STELPROMPT<2> = @WHO : '>>'
STELPROMPT<3> = '+'
0002: ASSIGN 1 TO SYSTEM(4001)
0003: ASSIGN STELPROMPT TO SYSTEM(4002)
Field 2 is for the active select list prompt and field 3 is for the
command continuation prompt, which I simply left as the single character
"+". This worked in a PICK flavor account in UV 10.1.18 on WIN Server
2003. This is documented in the online HELP for UV.PROMPT. The command
is actually UVPROMPT but the online docs are accessed by UV.PROMPT.
Strange, but true.
