The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

^[[1m and More When Shelling Out in emacs

Asked by KenHadley in Emacs, SSH / Telnet Software, Linux, Microsoft Windows Operating Systems

I am using Emacs 23, puttying (with Xming) through SSH to a Ubuntu 8.10 VMWare machine from Windows Vista.

All display characters look fine, both in Emacs and in the native Bash shell. When, however, I enter M-x shell within Emacs in the Putty/Xming connection, my PS1 prompt is:

^[[1m^[[41m^[[37mSat May 30 user ~ ^[[0m

(A similar thing happens when I run a Python interpreter session within the same Emacs configuration.)

Have looked all around for Putty, Emacs 23 encoding, etc. help, but am stuck.
