I guess it might be an idea if that FAQ entry explained how to tell whether you're "at a shell prompt" or not...

You're right.

It is, of course, the first time anyone has ever had a problem with it, but you're right.

I guess I was lucky enough to have been told what to look for *before* I incurred the wrath of the FAQ-master.
'Shell prompt' isn't exactly self explanatory.
Give us *nix newbs a little slack!
