Re: Prompt issue within cygwin
That was precicesly my issue. Thank you very much, both issues (tab
complete and dup > entries) are resolved!
FYI, I'm just trying to have a prompt that says:
username@hostname workingdir>
this is because i login to multiple machines and use tabbed windows
(available within mrxvt) to do this. i find having this prompt makes
it quite easy to keep track of what env i'm logged into and where i'm
at.
Have a great day!!
