Here is another cute one:
PS1='\[\033[1m\]'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPGRSTUVWXYZ"[\#]"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPGRSTUVWXYZ:"\[\e[0m\]"
Start xterm; narrow the width to 50 columns; and type:
TERM=vt100
Now type a letter - say 'p'.
Readline echos the 'p' followed by "\e[C\e[C\e[C\e[C"
so the cursor is 4 spaces ahead of the 'p'.
