terminal command line weirdness

I tried it and it changed the result for the better. Long lines no longer
wrap on to themselves, which was my chief complaint. I never thought of the
PS1 being the culprit. 

Normally, I do the following:
	export PS1="\033[1;31m[\u@\h \W]\\$ \033[0;39m"
to get a red prompt string so that its easy to find. Apparently something in
that is causing the problem. I'll research it.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
