Righto :) I was a DOS ‘programmer’ long before I migrated to Linux - the same way some guy who used to write bat files with environment variables and errorlevel commands might migrate to a shell script. What I really wanted was to be able to embed ^g into the Linux command line prompt, but so far I haven’t been able to. On DOS I could add ^g (the Bell character) to the prompt so each time a command finished it beeped.
