BTW, I've tried the following:
set prompt = "`hostname -s`> %/ [%P] %? \n`fortune -a -s` \n :-) \n # "
and sometime works OK, producing:
it> /usr/ports [20:41:57] 0

#
but in other cases doesn't print the hole prompt:
it> /usr/ports [20:43:12] 0
"Just once, I wish we would encounter an alien menace that wasn't
^^^^
it gives me the prompt at the end of the line.
