Re: how to workaroun 'nl' being added: Working now! Tnx!

Ah...Caught the addition of the _prompt var as separate.

It works now:

if [ -n "$_sh_interactive_shell" ] ; then 
	shopt -s cdspell checkhash checkwinsize cmdhist dotglob extglob 
	shopt -s histappend hostcomplete lithist
        shopt -s no_empty_cmd_completion xpg_echo
        # build a prompt ###########
        #specific to linux console compat emulations
        _CRed=$(tput setaf 1)  #Red
        _CRST=$(tput sgr0)   #Reset
        _CBLD=$(tput bold)   #Bold
        PUBLIC _prompt_open="" _prompt_close="" _prompt=">"
        PUBLIC _disp_port=${DISPLAY/[^:]*:/}
	[[ $UID -eq 0 ]] && { 
		_prompt_open="$_CBLD$_CRed"
                _prompt="#"
                _prompt_close="$_CRST"
        }
        PS1='\[$_prompt_open\]$(pwd "$PWD")$_prompt\[$_prompt_close\] ';
        #PS1='\[$_prompt_open\}$(spwd "$PWD")[$_prompt_close\] ';
        
        if [ -n ${REMOTEHOST:-""} ]; then
                #set_icon_and_title
                PUB_CONST _pshost=$(echo -en 
"\033]1;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}:${_disp_port}\007")
                PS1='\[$_pshost$_prompt_open\]${HOSTNAME}:$(spwd 
"$PWD")$_prompt\[$_prompt_close\] '
        fi
        
        PS2='> '
        PUBLIC PS1 PS2
        ########
        #setup TTY settings
----
The above is only executed on logins/logouts...

Yes...I caught my previous use of \[ \] around _pshost... so I had
used it before, but either didn't know what it did, or had forgotten.
Sigh.  Too much clutter in brain.  Having the index jumbled a few times
doesn't help either!  ;-)

Thanks!
