No offense at all, thanks for your suggestions!  I'm currently at work so  
I'll test this when I get home (this is on a desktop running 8.3-stable).   
I've never had to do anything special when using bash on FreeBSD.  I'll be  
sure to check th output of "set -o" and report back here.

If there's an erroneous 'clear' command somewhere, it must be on logout  
since I can easily test this problem being that I use tmux.  :)  I also do  
not have a .bash_logout file, if that matters.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll let you know what turns up.
