I was using this as my ps1 PS1='[...@\[\e[1;31m\]\h\[\e[0m\]:$PWD]\$ ' But I wanted to label the title of my xterm windows with the hostname of system Im logged into. So I added the following PS1='[...@\[\e[1;45m\]\h\[\e[0m\] $PWD]\e]2;@ \H\a\$ '
It works great except for it rewrites the current line if I write text past the current window size (regardless of the window size). filenameERVERNAME:/home/jreed]$ cat /a/really/long_fi Any suggestions? Thanks, Jonathan
