actually, i like the prompt in the wrong place, because it shows clearly that the output of the command is broken, so when writing scripts i get the: "ugh, this looks ugly, better add a newline" reaction, whereas otherwise i might not notice and not bother and then wonder why others are complaining (or worse, not complain but just think i write ugly scripts) if i happen to share the script with someone else. greetings, martin. -- cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and unix offering: programming, training and administration - anywhere in the world -- pike programmer travelling and working in europe open-steam.org unix system- bahai.or.at iaeste.(tuwien.ac|or).at administrator (caudium|gotpike).org is.schon.org Martin Bähr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
