heard to say:
I have just discovered that the command line in a gnome terminal window
doesn't wrap correctly. Instead of doing a line feed and continuing on
the next line it just returns to the beginning of the current line and
writes over it.
That sounds like something left your terminal in a bad state. Does
running "reset" help?

Daniel;
No, reset didn't do it, but your comment gave me an idea.
I opened a new terminal window and it worked just fine!
I had eight terminal windows open in various workspaces and
they all malfunctioned the same way. After your suggestion I
opened another terminal window, didn't close the others, and
it worked! Just on a hunch I tried one of the others, and
now they *all* work as they should! Exceeding strange! But I
am now a happy camper, or would that be happy hacker?
Any way, thanks for the help and suggestions Ron and Daniel!
Good Luck!!
Dennis
