I got this in a previous version of Emacs and fixed it with the following snippet: (setq eshell-prompt-function (lambda () (concat (eshell/pwd) "\n$")) eshell-prompt-regexp (concat "^" (regexp-quote "$"))) I'm currently using Emacs 24.3.50.1 and it appears to be back and the above snippet doesn't seem to work. Any help is appreciated. -deech
