Ever since I started using this Debian box here at work, I've had an issue that I attributed to gnome-terminal, which is the xterm-ish thing I run under X. Well, I decided to test it, and discovered the issue is actually the shell's fault. Here's the problem, if I type more than a line's length of text, while the text does wrap to the left, it does NOT go a line down. So, for example, if I wanted to do this: atari~> mv some_file_with_a_really_long_name.txt /some/really/long/and/involv ed/path/to/another/directory/ It visually APPEARS like this: ed/path/to/another/directory/eally_long_name.txt /some/really/long/and/involv >:^( It does this not just in gnome-terminal, but also from the virtual consoles. I'm running GNU bash, version 2.03.0(1)-release (i386-pc-linux-gnu) under Debian 2.2. Is there some ENV-var I can tweak to make it work _right?_ Thanks! -bill!
