Re: newline in IOCSH_PS1 value

You can set the variable outside the IOC:

DEF> "

> ../../bin/darwin-x86/example st.cmd 

...

Anybody happen to know of a way to include a newline in the IOCSH_PS1 value?


I can include one by manually typing the command in to the IOC shell after it is started:

epics> epicsEnvSet IOCSH_PS1 "      <---- Ctl+V, Ctl+J typed here....
becoladaq> "

But I cannot find any way to do this from the st.cmd startup script.  I have tried using "\n", hex, octal values, etc.  Nothing seems to work.
