It looks like you are configuring a C shell prompt, correct?
Make sure you have the following settings in ~/.cshrc (or in
/ect/csh.cshrc, if you want a global setting):
set promptchars = "%#"
set prompt = "%n@%m:%~%# "
This would give you the STANDARD prompt - note the space after
the prompt character and the absense of the brackets.
You want red color - I'm not sure if this is supported in csh.
At least I know that bold printing is possible. Have a look
at this:
set prompt = "[%B%n@%m:%~%b]%# "
This uses %B and %b to switch on and off bold printing. Refer
to "man csh", section "Special shell variables" and scroll
down to "prompt" - there are some more special settings to
customize the prompt. It mentions "%{string%}" for escape
sequences and can MAYBE be used for changing color.
Is the pipe character at the beginning of the prompt intended?
If yes, use this:
set prompt = "|[%B%n@%m:%~%b]%# "
I've kept the space at the end of the prompt for better
readability. Remove it if desired.
