Prompt matching issue - Couldn't `stty -inlcr -echo kill '^U''

[Richard Hill]

Hi All,

I have installed GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.0.6000), which 
includes Tramp - although not sure which version.

When I attempt to open a remote file on a Redhat Linux box over ssl 
(plink), the login hangs on:

apply: Couldn't `stty -inlcr -echo kill '^U''

The final apostrophe appears to be causing the problem... removing this 
last apostrophe and executing the resulting line in a shell then seems 
to work fine (removing character echo etc).

Now I _believe_ this last apostrophe is deliberate, to match a 
zero-length string at the end of the shell prompt?

On the remote box, my $PS1 = address@hidden \W]\$ , which I think is the default 
RH prompt.

I am more than happy to change my prompt to ensure Tramp compatibility, 
could someone point me in the direction of where I might find compatible 
prompt patterns? Alternatively, what do i need to add to my .emacs to 
ensure Tramp understands my prompt?

Below I have pasted the last of the output from the Emacs message 
buffer. Thanks very much for the help,

Richard

And the buffer contains:

stty -inlcr -echo kill '^U'
$ $

(just a single-ending apostrophe)
