	Why am I suddenly getting all these weird echoes -- and how
do I stop them?? I feel like a sorcerer's apprentice.
====================================================================
[btth@localhost btth]$ info touch
info touch
echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/$HOME/~}\007"
[btth@localhost btth]$ info echo
info echo
echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/$HOME/~}\007"
[btth@localhost btth]$ rm /home/btth/.pan/data/grc
rm /home/btth/.pan/data/grc
rm: `/home/btth/.pan/data/grc' is a directory
echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/$HOME/~}\007"
[btth@localhost btth]$ cd /home/btth/.pan/data/grc
cd /home/btth/.pan/data/grc
echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/$HOME/~}\007"
[btth@localhost grc]$ ls
ls
grc.dat  grc.news.dat  grc.privacy.dat  grc.security.dat
grc.security.software.dat  grc.spyware.dat
grc.idx  grc.news.idx  grc.privacy.idx  grc.security.idx
grc.security.software.idx  grc.spyware.idx
echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/$HOME/~}\007"
[btth@localhost grc]$
=============================================================

	The first guy I asked said said:

	So I got into /etc and tried 'pico bashrc' -- nothing about
echo there. Went back to btth and tried 'pico .bashrc' -- nothing
there either. (I was hoping for an extraneous-looking last line
containing echo that I could just delete.)

	Any alchemists in the crowd??
