        The infinitely superior Z shell</flame-bait :> has a really
neat feature, the RPROMPT parameter.  It basically is like PS1, but
displays flush right (unless you write a command line long enough to
run into it, which will make it dissapear).  I have things set thusly:


      PS1='%m:%~ %!%0(#,#,>) '
      RPROMPT='%*'


        Which results in a prompt like:

freebie:~/tmp/src 422> _                                         20:20:22 


        Whenever you get a new prompt thrown up, it'll put up the
current time.  And it stays over on the right side out of the way.
