I fix my "pwd" function to use "echo -e":
 	function pwd () {
 	  echo -n -e "\033]lBASH@${host}(${TTY}):$PWD\033\010"
         }
Hand smacks head, and voice goes "duh."

>Thanks for the neat function!
No prob.  Of course, it makes the most sense when used with this:
	function cd() {
	    builtin cd $*;
	    pwd
	}
and similar functions for pushd/popd.

I re-complained about

Brian pointed out that it isn't in 1.03....  hand smacks the head
