That's incorrect. The \[ and \] are to be used only to delineate
nonprinting sequences. If you include "\w >" inside them you will
really muck up your prompt if you type a command wider than one screen.

Thanks very much this! However I still have problem with long commands.
I start Cygwin with
****** cygwin.cmd:
@echo off
set chere_invoking=1
D:\cygwin\bin\bash --login -i
When the command wraps into the next line then I can not edit the
command any more. Is there something I can do about this?
Kind regards,
Lennart
