If so you could try this: $ set prompt=3D"\[\e[1;31m\]@%m:%~# \[\e[m\]" I don't know if this will work in csh, but it definitely works in bash. For bash it would be: $ export PS1=3D"\[\e[1;31m\]@%m:%~# \[\e[m\]" Nathan --=20 gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys D8527E49 --+HaDSJYnsYzHewVa Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFAHmK5O0ZIEthSfkkRApI/AJoDfvVJ8fhZsbzoh7sztVEkYc4KbACcCjeW W+DksWlwvHM6hRQVrEWndLI= =6ols -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --+HaDSJYnsYzHewVa--
