Kevin,
Thanks for the suggestion. I see you are using "concat" to concatenate
to the given regexp and this works fine. Thanks.
I'm seeing that what you really intended to say was that we should
eschew
(add-to-list 'tramp-shell-prompt-pattern .....)
for
(setq tramp-shell-prompt-pattern
(concat tramp-shell-prompt-pattern "\\|REGEXP")
and that our Wendung to an ontology of the string would be pertinent
elsewhere.
Perhaps some of these conclusions could be added to the documentation on
tramp to assist others coming later.
Thanks again.
