Thank you for the report. Please keep bug-bash in the recipient list for any follow-ups so that the group can participate. This behavior that you describe is the behavior that bash uses when it does not have termcap/terminfo for your terminal type. Does 'clear' do anything in your present environment? $ clear Normally that would produce terminal escape sequences but if it doesn't then that would be another indicator that your terminal is not configured sufficiently. What is your TERM variable? $ echo $TERM Bob
