Full Discussion: Kshrc custom prompt will not work

Kshrc custom prompt will not work
So Yesterday I switched from Solus Linux to Fedora Linux 30, but I forgot to backup some of my dotfiles including kshrc. I am fairly new to Korn shell and do not know it well, but through memory I was able to at least get this. I did use code from several different source to recreate it. The only problem is that my prompt does not change. When I was on Solus Linux I used the korn shell source from github and now I am using Korn Shell from the copr latest ksh repo for Fedora. If anyone could help me out with my config that would be great.
The way the prompt should look like is: zoomer@fedora:[/u/l/bin]:$
Code:
## Arrow Key Functions
set -o emacs
alias __A=$(print '\0020') # ^P = up = previous command
alias __B=$(print '\0016') # ^N = down = next command
alias __C=$(print '\0006') # ^F = right = forward a character
alias __D=$(print '\0002') # ^B = left = back a character
alias __H=$(print '\0001') # ^A = home = beginning of line

## Collapsed Directory
_collapsed_pwd() {
  echo $(pwd | perl -pe '
   BEGIN {
      binmode STDIN,  ":encoding(UTF-8)";
      binmode STDOUT, ":encoding(UTF-8)";
   }; s|^$ENV{HOME}|~|g; s|/([^/.])[^/]*(?=/)|/$1|g; s|/\.([^/])[^/]*(?=/)|/.$1|g
')
}

colormake

colormake(1)						      General Commands Manual						      colormake(1)

NAME

       colormake - color wrapper for make(1)

SYNOPSIS

       colormake [ --short ] ...

DESCRIPTION

       colormake acts as a wrapper around make(1) to ease reading the output by colorizing it.

OPTIONS

       The --short option instructs colormake to truncate lines so they do not wrap.  All other options will be passed unmodified to make(1).

USAGE

       To change a makefile to use colormake, you may change the path at the top which normally reads #!/usr/bin/make to #!/usr/bin/colormake.

       Alternately, you may type colormake whenever you would normally type make when compiling programs.

       Colormake  is  also  available  using  the alternate names which enable piping through less (clmake), truncated output so lines do not wrap
       (colormake-short), or both (clmake-short).

FILES

       The configuration files are Perl scripts included by colormake.pl.  The defaults values are (from colormake.pl itself):
       # Some useful color codes, see end of file for more.
       #
       $col_black =	   "33[30m";
       $col_red =	   "33[31m";
       $col_green =	   "33[32m";
       $col_yellow =	   "33[33m";
       $col_blue =	   "33[34m";
       $col_magenta =	   "33[35m";
       $col_cyan =	   "33[36m";
       $col_ltgray =	   "33[37m";

       $col_norm =	   "33[00m";
       $col_background =   "33[07m";
       $col_brighten =	   "33[01m";
       $col_underline =    "33[04m";
       $col_blink =	   "33[05m";

       # Customize colors here...
       #
       $col_default =	   $col_ltgray;
       $col_gcc =	   $col_magenta . $col_brighten;
       $col_make =	   $col_cyan;
       $col_filename =	   $col_yellow;
       $col_linenum =	   $col_cyan;
       $col_trace =	   $col_yellow;
       $col_warning =	   $col_green;
       $tag_error =	   "";
       $col_error =	   $tag_error . $col_yellow . $col_brighten;
       $error_highlight =  $col_brighten;

       For use with gnome-terminal I have the following configuration in my $HOME/.colormakerc file:
       $col_default =	   $col_black;
       $col_gcc =	   $col_magenta;
       $col_filename =	   $col_blue;
       $col_linenum =	   $col_cyan;
       $col_error =	   $tag_error . $col_red . $col_brighten;

       /usr/share/colormake/colormake.rc
	      System-wide configuration file for colormake.

       $HOME/.colormakerc
	      Personal configuration file for colormake.

HISTORY

       /usr/bin/colormake was formerly named /usr/bin/cmake but had to be renamed because of a name clash.

AUTHORS

       Bjarni R. Einarsson is the author of colormake.
