- prakashk 12y agoThe main problem here is that a change that should have been done as part of an individual's customization was made to a shared configuration file.

- philh 12y agoTo be precise, what you're suggesting is that we have prompts which are allowed to be colored except for the $/# at the end, because you can't color those without following them by escape characters. And that prompts must have a $/# at the end. I don't consider that an acceptable solution.
