Check the value of your $newline variable.  If it's set, then hitting
the newline will cause the command it's set to to be executed.  If it's
set, but not to a value, then nothing will happen:

set newline     #nothing happens, get your prompt back
set newline=dt  #newline does a "delete; next" command
unset newline   #default behavior -- print the next message

Now, why *your* particular newline variable got changed is beyond me.
It may be that whoever installed the new version of Mush on your machine
also installed a default Mushrc that was different from what you were
used to.
