<P>Thanks to the following people who have provided advice, errata, and
examples for this document.
<P>
<P>Paul D. Smith <CODE>&lt;psmith@BayNetworks.COM&gt;</CODE> and
Christophe Martin <CODE>&lt;cmartin@ipnl.in2p3.fr&gt;</CODE>
both pointed out that I had the quotes the wrong way round in the
<CODE>bash</CODE> <CODE>$PROMPT_COMMAND</CODE>. Getting them right
means variables <I>are</I> expanded dynamically.
<P>
<P>Paul D. Smith <CODE>&lt;psmith@BayNetworks.COM&gt;</CODE>
suggested the use of <CODE>\[...\]</CODE> in the <CODE>bash</CODE>
prompt for embedding non-printing characters.
<P>
<P>Christophe Martin <CODE>&lt;cmartin@ipnl.in2p3.fr&gt;</CODE>
provided the solution for <CODE>ksh</CODE>.
<P>
<P>Keith Turner <CODE>&lt;keith@silvaco.com&gt;</CODE>
supplied the escape sequences for Sun <CODE>cmdtool</CODE> and
<CODE>shelltool</CODE>.
<P>
<P>Jean-Albert Ferrez <CODE>&lt;ferrez@dma.epfl.ch&gt;</CODE>
pointed out some inconsistencies in the use of "<CODE>PWD</CODE>"
and "<CODE>$PWD</CODE>", and in the use of "<CODE>\</CODE>" vs "<CODE>\\</CODE>".
<P>
<P>Bob Ellison <CODE>&lt;papillo@hpellis.fc.hp.com&gt;</CODE> and
Jim Searle <CODE>&lt;jims@broadcom.com&gt;</CODE> tested <CODE>dtterm</CODE>
on HP-UX.
<P>
<P>Teng-Fong Seak <CODE>&lt;seak@drfc.cad.cea.fr&gt;</CODE> suggested the
<CODE>-s</CODE> option for <CODE>hostname</CODE>, use of <CODE>`pwd`</CODE>, and
use of <CODE>echo</CODE> under <CODE>csh</CODE>.
<P>
<P>Trilia <CODE>&lt;trilia@nmia.com&gt;</CODE> suggested examples
in other languages.
<P>
<P>Brian Miller <CODE>&lt;bmiller@telstra.com.au&gt;</CODE> supplied the
escape sequences and examples for <CODE>hpterm</CODE>.
<P>
<P>Lenny Mastrototaro <CODE>&lt;lenny@click3x.com&gt;</CODE> explained
the Irix terminals' use of xterm escape sequences.
<P>
<P>Paolo Supino <CODE>&lt;paolo@init.co.il&gt;</CODE> suggested the use
of <CODE>\\$</CODE> in the <CODE>bash</CODE> prompt.
