-I like to change the color, and structure, of my Bash prompt to make a more clear distinction between the area that I am typing and the prompt. A typical Bash prompt looks like {{{user@machine:present working directory$ }}} (see: [/attachment/wiki/Wisdom/Bash/bash_prompt_default.png image]). A stylized prompt could look like [/attachment/wiki/Wisdom/Bash/bash_prompt_color.png this].
+I like to change the color, and structure, of my Bash prompt to make a more clear distinction between the area that I am typing and the prompt. A typical Bash prompt looks like {{{user@machine:present working directory$ }}} (see: [/attachment/wiki/Wisdom/Bash/bash_prompt_default.png image]). A stylized prompt could look like [/attachment/wiki/Wisdom/Bash/bash_prompt_color.png this]. You can change the structure (where to put the machine name, user name, path) and the color of each element. My {{{.prompt}}} file defines all of the colors, and shows and example structure:
+{{{
+COL_BLACK=$'\[\033[30m\]'
+COL_RED=$'\[\033[31m\]'
+COL_GREEN=$'\[\033[32m\]'
+COL_YELLOW_ORANGE=$'\[\033[33m\]'
+COL_BLUE=$'\[\033[34m\]'
+COL_MAGENTA=$'\[\033[35m\]'
+COL_CYAN=$'\[\033[36m\]'
+COL_NORM=$'\[\033[39m\]'
+PMPT_BOLD=$'\[\033[1m\]'
+PMPT_NORM=$'\[\033[0m\]'
+
+# See: http://networking.ringofsaturn.com/Unix/Bash-prompts.php
+# for a longer list of colours.
+
+PS1="${PMPT_BOLD}${COL_CYAN}\h${COL_YELLOW_ORANGE} [\w] %${PMPT_NORM} "
