Try to follow these exact instructions. First, set your PS1 to the above. It should result in a colored prompt. Second, type "asdf" so many times that it goes passed the width of the terminal and the words begin to appear on the next line. (Open xterm at its default width to do this.) At that point, keep hitting either Alt-Bksp or Ctrl-W until you see bash not refreshing properly. --Matt
