This is supposed to put two newlines into the prompt. Does the above work for you? Which one of the following alternatives work? ,----- | PS1='\n/////\n' `----- ,----- | PS1="\n/////\n" `----- ,----- | PS1=" | ///// | " `----- I'm trying to find one alternative which works for all Bourne-ish shells. kai -- This gubblick contains many nonsklarkish English flutzpahs, but the overall pluggandisp can be glorked from context. -- David Moser
