In my `.profile` I have the following: > export ENV=$HOME/.rc and then in `.rc` I have: > export PS1='\033[36$ \033[m' These escape sequences are interpreted by my terminal to colour the text, and do so correctly when executing dash normally. >dash $ dash >$ However, when vi or emacs options are enabled (either through command line option or with `set -o`) these escape sequences are interpreted as literal text. >dash $ dash -V >[36m$ [mset +o vi >$ set -o emacs >[36m$ [mset +o emacs >$ Thanks for any help :)
