More correctly, you can see the line, followed immediately by your bash prompt, until you type the next character. At that point bash erases the line and reprints your prompt along the character you just typed. At least that's the behavior on my machine. A really *ugly* work-around is to embed a newline at the beginning of your prompt string by using \n. It's ugly because under normal circumstances you get an extra empty line between prompts or between the last line of output and your prompt. /Pen
