In the first implementation of the console prompt, it did not print the tick counter. Subsequent versions did, and the version that ultimately was incorporated does. I woke up at 2am thinking about this, and thinking that an on/off toggle for the tick counter would be a nice thing to have, since some people won't care about the ticks in general. Implementing this is pretty straight forward and could be done via a sys config and a shell command, like the prompt. dg -- David G.
