There are a number of variables used (b,d,e,g,l,m,n,p,q,t,v) that can be put together how you wish. These days, the default prompt is $p$g, which gives you the path and the greater symbol. It's been that since at least DOS 6 and I'd bet a Twinkie since DOS 3.3. % % -- % Dave Pearson: | mutt.octet.filter - autoview octet-streams % http://www.davep.org/ | mutt.vcard.filter - autoview simple vcards % Mutt: | muttrc2html - muttrc -> HTML utility % http://www.davep.org/mutt/ | muttrc.sl - Jed muttrc mode HTH & HAND :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
