All other releases I had no problem. Has anyone tried using something like: set prompt="^[[1;33;41m[`whoami`]^[[1;37;40m " All I get for the prompt is the exact same string between the quotes as shown above without any color. Is there something new in RELEASE 4.1 that handles color ANSI code differently?
