Maybe yet another point. mc prints command prompt without the control codes what perfectly makes sense within mc. Also it prints only the last line in case that user has multiline PS1, for example: PS1='\[\033[01;31m\]\H\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[00;01m\]\w\n\033[01;34m\]\$ \[\033[00m\]' Doesn't it make sense to print the complete prompt to the subshell in respect to PS1 including control codes? In case you rely on the fact that the prompt is single-lined, which is not in this case, the rewriting of the prompt using control codes, as you propose, will be broken. After thinking more about it, it would be better to print the prompt again each time a cwd in mc is changed. If we do so, we can support the multiline PS1s as well.
