Is there a way to trigger on the prompt in GSL-based games?

I'm looking for a common way to reset my text parsing, and that seems to be the most logical.

Note that I'm *NOT* trying to trigger off the prompt text - that would be trivial - I'm trying to trigger off the prompt itself.

Thanks,

Umm...the prompt IS the prompt text.

Well, yes and no. Let me try to explain what's happening in more detail for those who don't play GSL games.

If you go to the "GSL emulation" section of the preferences, you'll see what I mean - you can set the prompt to whatever you want from zMUD. zMUD then echoes whatever text (or variables or whatever)you enter into that field as a prompt.

Now I would like to to match the prompt in some triggers, and I believe it should be possible to match the 'prompt' without explicitly matching the text. This will increase portability of code and also avoid errors when I have not updated my prompt variable.

Sorry for not providing the info earlier on.

#TRIGGER {*} {dostuff} "" {prompt}

Or, a better way, is to create a GSL trigger which triggers off of the letter q.
#TRIGGER {q} {dostuff} "" {gsl}
