I am not exactly a newby to FreeBSD, but this is certainly a newby question in that I am not sure where to look for the answer. I want the prompt string in the .cshrc file to contain a Bell or ASCII 7 character. Normally, this is no problem. If one is using the C-shell, a prompt string like set prompt="\a\!# " I am using a VT100 emulator and it can certainly receive bells. If I type a CTRL-G on the keyboard, I hear a beep. It is only when I receive the prompt string that it is not a bell but ^G. If I use the bash shell, I get a bell. What might be effecting the C-shell's output in this way?
