That's interesting. If I put the \n at the end of my prompt it works right. If I put it at the beginning or in the middle I get the same problem - the first line wraps at 66 characters, and overwrites the line rather than spilling onto the next line. I've discovered that the second and presumably all subsequent lines wrap correctly at 80 characters and spill onto the following line, rather than overwriting the current line. So the only functional option so far is to add the \n at the end of my prompt. However, I'd rather have my prompt on the same line as the input, which doesn't seem like an unreasonable demand. Any other suggestions? Thanks, Tyler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
