[ILUG] What does this do?

Hi all,

I was running an xterm yesterday and went back through the history of 
commands to find one I had previously used when I came across the following 
command that had been typed in:

PROMPT_COMMAND='pwd>&8;kill -STOP $$'


Apologies for my lack of know-how but what does this command do? I didn't 
type it in originally (if I did, I'd know what it meant!), so I'm trying to 
find out if someone was at my pc.

Mike
