The output of printenv indicates that you have non-printing characters in PS1 that are not bracketed by \[ and \]. In fact, there don't seem to be any \[ sequences in the prompt string at all (and you have two \] in a row?). The mode strings appear to be properly bracketed using \1 and \2. -- ``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer ``Ars longa, vita brevis'' - Hippocrates Chet Ramey, UTech, CWRU c...@case.edu http://tiswww.cwru.edu/~chet/
