What buffer did you do that in?  Did you verify it via M-: or C-h v in your
Prolog interpreter buffer?

Does `M-x locate-library prolog' return a *.elc file name?  If so, did you
byte-compile prolog.el after modifying it.

Probably by setting comint-input-autoexpand to nil in the Prolog interpreter's
comint buffer, probably via a hook.
