Indeed.  Ah, memories.  For a long time my prompt on ol' zinfandel was

//STEP.123 EXEC PGM=

(where the "123" was the current csh event number.)  This was only privately
amusing, until one day an "old" IBM hacker (turned toward Unix and the light
side of the Force) came by my office for something and saw my prompt.

"What the HELL are you running there?!?!" he asked.  "4.1BSD" I said.
Took him nearly a full minute to figure it out... hee hee.
