I'm currently at work so I'll test this when I get home (this is on a desktop running 8.3-stable). I've never had to do anything special when using bash on FreeBSD. I'll be sure to check th output of "set -o" and report back here. If there's an erroneous 'clear' command somewhere, it must be on logout since I can easily test this problem being that I use tmux. :) I also do not have a .bash_logout file, if that matters. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll let you know what turns up. -- Andre Goree andre@drenet.info
