It was a mistake in the PS1 var from my .bashrc file. I had export PS1='\u@\h:\[\e[032m\e[1m\]\w > \e[0m\]' Forgot to escape the reset command. So I change it to export PS1='\u@\h:\[\e[32m\e[1m\]\w > \[\e[0m\]' and bash scrolls now the content as soon as I reach the right side of the window. cheers, Val __________________________________ Yahoo!
