Why do I keep getting `bash: local: command not found` -

when comment out prompt function, error goes away except lastly one!

if local genuinely not available (for instance, disabled enable -n local), seeing:

bash: local: command not found

instead of:

bash: local: command not found

those spaces clue. closely @ file (with hex editor, if have to), , figure out bytes aren't either spaces or tabs are... , alter them genuine ascii space characters.

there several non-breaking space variants found in unicode; i'm guessing somehow got script. copy-and-pasting code web can dangerous. :)
