Seems to be a problem with your prompt string, here it works:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Tests/beamer> echo -en "abcdefghijklm" >jengelh
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Tests/beamer> cat jengelh
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Tests/beamer>
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Tests/beamer> echo "$PS1"
$(ppwd \l)[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\w>
please note that every special character like terminal escape
characters should be enclosed by \[ \] within the prompt strings.
