And that has an oops in it. Don't include the ";". The proper escape sequence
would be "esc[0". My bad. Been too long since I did more than copy stuff.

I've had (in the VT220/320) some pretty wild prompts.
There was a thunderbolt, and for the holidays, someone
crafted Santa, a sleigh, and reindeer. People must have
had more time back then, or else no one who was in
charge had any idea what they were doing. Or both.

Dear List,
Ever cat a binary file by accident and your
terminal gets all screwed up.
I had a developer on the Perl 6 chat line give me
a tip on how to unscrew your terminal and set it
back to normal. (He way helping me do a binary
read from the keyboard.)

Note: it is <ctr><J>, not "enter".
-T
Make "\033]0;" the first bit of your prompt. Never worry about it again.
ESC-0 sets the terminal to have no attribute bits set. So it clears funny
display. I've had that as a standard part of my prompts for decades, even back
in the CP/M days.
