Subject: Fixed prompt alignment hack for ksh

The manual page for mksh hints that the escaped initial character should
in fact be a carriage return, not a newline. That seems to work really
well. The newline variable was an empty string before this commit anyway
because it was stripped by the subshell expansion.
