>Can you try chaning your prompt and see if this happens? > export PS1='${HOSTNAME}:${PWD}>' ><and now do the resize experiment> I tried it and it changed the result for the better. Long lines no longer wrap on to themselves, which was my chief complaint. I never thought of the PS1 being the culprit. Normally, I do the following: export PS1="\033[1;31m[\u@\h \W]\\$ \033[0;39m" to get a red prompt string so that its easy to find. Apparently something in that is causing the problem. I'll research it. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. -- Bill Gradwohl YCC (817) 224-9400 x211 www.ycc.com SPAMstomper Protected E-mail www.stomperware.com
