And OLD idea too :-) I've already had such a prompt for the last three years, which includes the output from the original 'smiley'-PROGRAM! If somebody is really interested, mail me, but I'll have to fish the parts smiley-parts out of my prompting mechanism from diverse files (It might need a while :-) I also have a mechanism to 'sometimes' print system-information before my promts, because I supervise more than one system... AND I have a problem with LINUX-console color-prompts which on being redrawn by (eg.: ^L at the top of the screen) loose a blank and then edit of by one (no idea where this comes from). Any ideas how %{...ansi-color-sequences...} might differ in length between the first time it is done (_typed_) and all the latter times when it's _redrawn_ to be edited ?
