You're running /bin/sh as your shell but have bash specific escape sequences in your prompt. Change your prompt (/etc/profile, ~/.profile, etc) or change your shell (/etc/passwd) to /bin/bash.

There are strange extra characters on the top of every window (login, xterm) which look like the following: \[\033]0;\w\007 \022[32m\]\u@\h \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\] These two lines will show up again after each command I execute in the xterm window. They look like terminal control code, but how and why are they displayed in my window? And how do I get rid of them? BTW, although I'm using the English verison of WindowsXP, I set the region (in control panel) to China to be able to view and input Chinese. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
