You're still running the tcsh, I'd bet. The first prompt used 'localhost' for the machine name which would be used if you were not attached to any network. The newer prompt is using the name of your machine on the network. If no network exists (like for my machine at home), localhost will still be the name of the machine. > >This is a fresh install of OS 10.1.4, I assigned DHCP as Network for my DSL >connection.

I'd bet there was some change to one of the mysterious built in files (something in /etc/termcap or something). >Running "env" says Host= my DSL ISP address, lexds101 etc. Has something changed >shells on me?

Since the process viewer sez that you're running tcsh, this is the shell which is working in the terminal. Bill The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will be May 28.
