Oops. Sorry for the inconvenience. However, what is the rationale for this behaviour? -- Felipe Sateler ___ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash

Try PS4=$'-$?\n+ ' for the `bash -x' case. You can use PROMPT_COMMAND for interactive shells. The leading `-' is to reduce confusion when bash replicates the first character of PS4 to indicate multiple levels of subshells. Replace it with any character you like.
