Hello,

I use /bin/ksh on NetBSD 3.0 and my PS1 looks like this:

************************************************
PS1="$(whoami)@$(hostname -s)$(echo '\\n')\$ "
************************************************

but unfortunately, the output looks like this:

************************************************
petar@starling\n$ <type-command-here>
************************************************

while

************************************************
echo "$(whoami)@$(hostname -s)$(echo '\\n')\$ "
************************************************

outputs

************************************************
petar@starling
$
************************************************


Can somebody help me?


Thank you & with kind regards,

Petar
