Program Naming with dw:define-program-framework

My problem is the "pretty-name" is also used to build the command
prompt in my :listener pane and is entirely too long to allow some
commands to appear on the same line. I would like to see the
program-flavor name appear in the command prompt instead but still keep
the "pretty-name" in the <select> <help> window.
You can use a :top-level keyword in your define-program-framework to
define a top level function.
Then either defun or defmethod the top level function. In it, call
dw:default-command-top-level with a :prompt option. For example,
(defmethod (foo-top foo-program) ()
(dw:default-command-top-level self :prompt "something"))
This is explained a little more on page 97 of book 7a.
Hope this helps.
