Greetings, Well, I've gone and done something, and I don't know how to fix it...Please help!
I start a terminal window on my windows machine, ssh'g to my Linux box. At the top lefthand corner of that window is a tilde, "~bash". The word disappears, leaving behind the 'tilde'. Plus, on the screen next to the prompt, a few seconds later...Another'tilde'. So...Suggestions?

Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory tooverlook an offense.

Presumably this is an xterm (or something like it) and bash (or
whatever) is setting the window title. This can be done by sending
an escape sequence to the terminal. You might look through the
various bash settings regarding that - though I personally control
it with my own scripts.

it's your PS1 setting
man bash and search for PROMPTING
