[snip] Ok, I've raised the question on the MC developers list. It appears that this is a known problem. From the MC's TODO list: "Don't read prompt from the subshell, because it's unreliable. Interpret environment variable MC_PS1 (or PS1) in the same way as bash." I think the message is quite clear. So, I wonder if I should disable the loading of the prompt until this feature becomes available... Or maybe controlable with a command line option ? Any opinions ? Otherwise I just have sit down and hope that there is not a large number of people, which use "strange" prompts and MC :) Of course there is no need to worry until I don't solve the "subshell stays after MC exits" problem, because there is no subshell now :) -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
