Hi,

I've installed b20. I still have the same trouble with bash that I've had
in previous versions. In my .bash_profile I have:

declare -x PS1='[\!] \w '

whenever I start bash the cursor stays all the way to the left, such that
I have to overwrite the prompt when I type. If I try to source .bash_profile,
I get the same thing. But, if I enter the command at the prompt then
the cursor moves to the end of the prompt from the on.

Is there a solution to this problem?

Kendall
