Hmm, I don't see where you have a line wrap here. I do know that (at least with some terminals, etc) a "line wrap" is achieved by printing both a CR and NL (similar to what typewriters used to do). I have a multi-line bash prompt like thus : ------------- # set the prompt PS1=" (\w) [EMAIL PROTECTED] [\!]\\$ " ------------- I simply include the lines in the string in my .bashrc. HTH, -D
