terminal emulation problem

[Randall R Schulz]

Phil,

I cannot confirm what you say using BASH under either a Windows console or 
RXVT. Everything seems to work as expected.

Tell us more about your shell / emulator configuration, what you're doing 
and the specific unwanted characters that appear.

By the way, is your $SHELL setting consistent with the shell you use for 
interactive use? I'm pretty sure the ftp program is going to use $SHELL as 
the shell that executes "!" commands.

Another thing, are your .profile / .bashrc (or whichever get executed by 
your shell during startup) properly written to be quiet when operating 
non-interactively?
