- Subject: prompt malfunctions when invoking sh
when i use the bourne shell (sh,) the literal characters
that are used to form the prompt (i.e., environmental
variable $PS1,) which is set in /etc/profile on my
system, .are displayed instead. for example, on
my windows 2000 professional system, i see
the following gibberish:
\[\033]0;\w\007
\033[32m\]\u@\h \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\]
$
can something be done to fix this? note: this
happens only on sh; no problems in bash,
tcsh.
