Hi,
the behaviour you describe is normal for any Korn shell, since the idioms
you are trying to use are GNU bash extensions.
Instead of
export PS1='\033[0;[EMAIL PROTECTED] \033[0;33m\w\033[0;39m
$ '
you should use this (the lines 2 and 3 have a tab and a space inside the []):
: ${HOSTNAME:=$(ulimit -c 0;hostname -s 2>&-)}
[[ $HOSTNAME = @(localhost|*([ ])) ]] && HOSTNAME=$(ulimit -c 0;hostname 2>&-)
[[ $HOSTNAME = @(localhost|*([ ])) ]] && HOSTNAME=noname
export PS1='
[0;[EMAIL PROTECTED] [0;33m$PWD[0;39m
$ '
If your mail programme mungles these lines, here's a long version:
: ${HOSTNAME:=$(ulimit -c 0;hostname -s 2>&-)}
[[ $HOSTNAME = @(localhost|*([ ])) ]] && HOSTNAME=$(ulimit -c 0;hostname 2>&-)
[[ $HOSTNAME = @(localhost|*([ ])) ]] && HOSTNAME=noname
nl='
'
ca=$(print \\001)
cm=$(print \\r)
esc=$(print \\033)
export PS1="$ca$cm$ca$esc[0;[EMAIL PROTECTED]
$ca$esc[0;33m$ca\$PWD$ca$esc[0;39m$ca$nl\$ "
unset nl ca cm esc
Have fun!
bye,

I believe no one can invent an algorithm. One just happens to hit upon it
when God enlightens him. Or only God invents algorithms, we merely copy them.
If you don't believe in God, just consider God as Nature if you won't deny
existence. -- Coywolf Qi Hunt
