When i connect to a mud with mushclient, the "prompt" of the mud display like this:
21:09:30> 21:09:35> 21:09:37> 21:09:39> 21:09:41> 21:09:43> 21:09:45>

If i use ZMud or telnet, it works like that:
21:09:45>

What display in the "prompt" is time, and the time updated per second. The "time prompt" should displayd on the same palce (start of the lasted line).

MUSHclient does not support cursor-moving commands. I gather the MUD is sending the prompt followed by a carriage-return but not a newline. MUSHclient discards the carriage-return, and starts a new line when it gets a newline, hence the behaviour you are seeing.

I suggest turning the "clock" feature off on the MUD. Sounds like a waste of bandwidth to me, to send something to every player every second.

There is now an option in version 3.29 of MUSHclient - "carriage_return_clears_line".

To use this you will need to do this, with scripting active:

/world.SetOption "carriage_return_clears_line", 1

Then save the world to make it permanent.
