My OpenSuSE Thinkpad has a problem it seems with tcsh and Putty or MobaXterm on my PC.
I have emacs editing configured and it works fine from the laptop's terminals. But when used remotely, the editing commands don't update the screen correctly (though they are still editing the command buffer correctly; you just can't see it.) For instance, I type abcdefgh, then ctrl-A. The cursor only moves you back to the "f". (Though if I type an i, I get "iabcdefgh: Command not found." so the editing in fact is happing correctly.)
If I switch to bash, it works fine. If I fire up a tcsh from within that bash, its back to screwed up.
The problem seems to be this line in my cshrc:
set prompt = ">%{\033]0;%}%m %~%{\007%} "
I've used this line for like two decades exactly like that, I think, including accessing my previous Linux box from a PC. So why is it now hosed?
