Absolutely true. When using simh’s EXPECT & SEND you’ve got to
declare the prompts you want to match before the simulated system is
running so the simulation framework has a clue what you want to
achieve.
Additionally, as I said before:

Previously his EXPECT command had:
EXPECT "Proceed with system startup? <Yes>"
While the correct match string has:
EXPECT "Proceed with system startup? <YES> "
