Re: [expert] bash is wiping out the last line that doesn't have a newline
tested your line in 8.1 [james@jamlin Winamp]$ echo -n I can see this line in Mandrake 7.2 but not 8.0 I can see this line in Mandrake 7.2 but not 8.0[james@jamlin Winamp]$ Works in 8.1 .. Don't have an 8.0 box to test it on. Perhaps upgrading bash to the 8.1 version, bash-2.05-10mdk might help.

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 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
