I should have checked earlier. I'm seeing the same thing with
RPS2 and RPROMPT2.

Current state of RPROMPT2 and RPS2
    RPROMPT2:
    RPS2:
Set RPROMPT2 to RPROMPT2
    RPROMPT2:  RPROMPT2
    RPS2:
Set RPS2 to RPS2
    RPROMPT2:  RPS2
    RPS2:  RPS2
Unset RPRMOPT2
    RPROMPT2:
    RPS2:
Unset RPS2
    RPROMPT2:
    RPS2:
Set RPROMPT2 to RPROMPT2
Set RPS2 to RPS2
    RPROMPT2:  RPS2
    RPS2:  RPS2
Unset RPS2
    RPROMPT2:
    RPS2:
Unset RPRMOPT2
    RPROMPT2:
    RPS2:

In addition the promptinit function doesn't set RPS2:

    local +h PS1=$PS1 PS2=$PS2 PS3=$PS3 PS4=$PS4 RPS1=$RPS1

Again, thanks,

Jim
