RE: tramp (2.1.3); cannot open remote files or directories using plink method

[Bryson, Stewart]

Thanks again for your help Michael.

Here are the results.

First... at the end of my .bash_profile, I placed:

export PS1="$"

That way... there shouldn't be an issue with the prompt. However... I
got basically the same results.

stty -inlcr -echo kill '^U'

After that, I tried a blank .bash_profile, so nothing got loaded. This
presented me with a prompt like this: -bash-2.05b$
