We used to put an execution of qterm in our .profile, which took care of figuring out (once) what kind of terminal was on the other end, and what size it was. Worked for non-ANSI terminals too, and you could avoid it altogether if it was going to cause an issue if accessed via certain methods. (Since it was in a user-accessible script, and could consult the tty device name to make such decisions.) > And thirdly, what about prefixing your prompt with a \n? The problem, such as it is, is that you'll get double-spacing that way, except when running into our exceptional echo case that's under discussion. Seems wrong to mess up 30 years of convention just to deal with one exceptional case. -- Jim _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
