Hi,
I'm having a problem with colour escape codes for prompts in different
applications and terminals. Basically it is like this.
lftp and yafc show a wrong prompt in the following terminals: cmd, 4nt,
console and far manager. Basically each coloured part of the prompt is
surrounded by two "funny faces" - the first is white and the second has
the desired colour.
Let's say my prompt is "user AT host:directory" where "directory" is cyan.
Then the prompt looks like this[1]:
user AT host:[FW][FC]directory[FC][FW]
The interesting thing is that the coloured prompts /do/ work in bash, zsh
and screen[2] with cmd, 4nt, console and FAR manager.
Also the coloured prompts from lftp and yafc show correctly in rxvt. They
also show correctly in Linux and Konsole so the syntax of the coloured
prompt is correct.
What can I do to solve this problem?
$ uname -rv
1.7.0s(0.167/4/2) 20070316 16:11:46

[1] [FW] = "Funny Face white", [FC] = "Funny Face Cyan"
[2] Bash and Zsh use more or less the same syntax for colour escape
prompts as lftp and yafc
