Sorry Bill, but I agree that putting a '#' at the end of the
superuser prompt is A Good Thing. I've often got a half dozen shells
running in different windows; it's nice to be reminded which of them has
been superuserized. Besides, this is just a cosmetic thing; it's not
something that actually gets in the way of you doing work, like
gratutitiously sticking a carriage return at the end of a file or something
like that.
