It seems to be default bash prompt. No, `$P$G' is the default DOS (or whatever they call it these days) prompt. In COMMAND.COM, $P is the full path to the current directory, while $G is a `>' sign. It's stored in the same environment variable, PROMPT, which is why you're getting it. By the way, I ended up sticking `set HOME=/home' in AUTOEXEC.BAT as the easiest way to give zsh a sensible home directory. I never thought I'd use so much M*cr*s*ft language in one email. -- Peter Stephenson Cambridge Silicon Radio, Unit 300, Science Park, Milton Road, Cambridge, CB4 0XL, UK Tel: +44 (0)1223 392070
