UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

when i am typing some long comand in the $ prompt after some characters the left part of coomads are gettign hidden.I am getting one < at the right and the coomands are getting shifted to the left.

Is there something defined in .profile ? I need to chnage that setting as i am facing a lot of problem due to this.

What could help:

- Change your prompt to a short one without displaying the path of your current working directory
- Make your window larger
- Write shorter commands
- Write a script instead everything on the prompt in one row

- Get an extra large screen where you can draw your window even larger

If you had already tried of the above you can also try:

Code:

export TERM=vt220

or check your terminal settings with

Code:

stty -a
