When I type a long line in the bash shell it seems to get confused when 
it passes the first 80 character barrier and does a newline. Below is an 
example.

C09-272-A:# why is it in bash that when I get close to typing 80 
characters bash
does som
ething like this?

Now set my prompt to the hostname as 
"\[\e]0;\w\a\e[01;33mC09-272-A:\e[0m". Could this be causing the problem?
