Do you have the HOME env set, or are you using the default location (which is AppData/Roaming)? If you have HOME set to something else, that's where .emacs needs to go. If you used Emacs to navigate to ~/, then you've got the right place. To double check, add an 'echo' statement, and check to see the message at shell creation. > PS1="$ " > > as the only line in and tried with a new instance of Emacs and M-x > shell, it still gives > > > bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device > bash: no job control in this shell I get this message as well, but only at shell creation.

However, I get one default prompt, then the prompt I've set. That's because .emacs_bash is run as the first command the shell executes; it is created, gives one prompt, then runs .emacs_bash. So is this only on the first line for you? Do subsequent command lines show the prompt you've set? Can you set PS1 from the command line, after the shell is created? -- -- Stephe
