Try to follow these exact instructions. First, set your PS1 to the
above. It should result in a colored prompt. Second, type "asdf" so many
times that it goes passed the width of the terminal and the words begin
to appear on the next line. (Open xterm at its default width to do
this.) At that point, keep hitting either Alt-Bksp or Ctrl-W until you
see bash not refreshing properly.
