I have this one in my .cshrc:

# tsch prompt (C) xcene / dance <xcene@c2i.net>
set prompt="%{ÚÄ¿   Ú¿%}%n@%M%{%}À%{%}Ä%{%}Ä%{%}Ä%{%}Ä%{Ù%}%{%}%/%{ÀÄ%}Ä%{%}Ä%{%}Ä%{%}Ä %{ú%}\
%{ÀÄÄÄÄÄÙ[%}%D.%W.%y %P%{]ÄÄÄÄ<ù.ù>ÄÄÄÄ[%}%l%{]ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ[%}%h %{ù %}%?%{]ÄÄÄÄ ú%}\
%{  ³Ù%}%#%{%} "


>Description:

With the above prompt, in tcsh, using the normal textmode system console,
when scrolling starts, the cursor disappears and is gone until i do a
'clear'.

Also, if i type a long command line, like
'echo hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello',
and then backspace it, the cursor jumps up a line and everything looks
rather mangled.



>How-To-Repeat:

See description.


>Fix:
	
Using a 1-line prompt, but I can't fit so much info into one line =)
