Re: Problem with pdksh and multi-line prompt

I have some trouble with pdksh if my prompt gets longer than one
line, it gets wrapped correctly and a cursor is there but my input
is no longer visible. For example I can type ls and get the correct
output, what I'm typing is just not visible.

The ksh(1) manual page states that:

... if a line is longer than the screen width (see COLUMNS
parameter), a >, + or < character is displayed in the last
column indicating that there are more characters after,
before and after, or before the current position,
respectively. The line is scrolled horizontally as necessary.
