"PROMPTOK
 ...
 The condition is true if the user entered a value.
 The condition is false if the value was entered by the input procedure."

So surely if the user enters nothing, and the input procedure fills it in,
promptok should still be false, and the check must be done on the original
(pre-input procedure) value of fieldtext ?? Or is the doc wrong ?
