Hi, I would like to propose a patch, that allows to use \o in prompt:
$ PS1="(\o)\u@\h \w $ " (himBH)merlin@xxxx ~/bash $ set +hm (iBH)merlin@xxxx ~/bash $ \o gets replaced by all options that are on and visible via set -o. do you think it can be useful? (I hope this feature is not already somewhere in the code). I attach the patch. If you consider it worth anything I can clean it, and update the documentation/help messages. Sorry for formatting, I was desperately trying to be consistent with the coding standard of surrounding code. cheers, pg
