The program is a highly stripped verion of "sysline". I wrote this as an exercise to learn some curses. I have tried all kinds of shell echo tricks to use the status line on my ATT 4425 without success. This program does the job. Putting the CWD on the stat line is a good idea, its clumsy on the prompt. Bob Rager
