Hi Jean/Troy Why do both use PROMPT_COMMAND to output your prompts? I thought it was more conventional to set PS1, there are escape characters to expand to hostname, date, etc etc. I think this might be more efficient, and make things more simple for you.
Here's my PS1 for an example: harry2~/Mail>echo "$PS1" \[\033[1;31m\]\u\[\033[0;32m\]\l\[\033[1;34m\]\w>\[\033[0m\] You can embed commands too. Have you read this? http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/index.html I recall finding that very useful in constructing my prompt. Also I set hardstatus in .screenrc to set the window title. HTH, Harry. _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list screen-users@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
