[SOLVED] Single-line input on terminal issue

corruptz0r · 2011-07-05 02:30:27

On my terminal application, if a command I'm typing is too long, it returns to the position 0 of the same line to continue the command. How can I make it instead go to the next line to continue typing?

I am using Bash.

What is your PS1? If you have any escape sequencies in PS1, be sure to wrap them in \[ and \].
See the bash man page, PROMPTING section.
