Have a look at the page you mentioned above and you'll easily find the answer, especially if you consult the section http://understudy.net/custom.html#color_prompts and then scroll down to "TC Shells" - keep in mind that FreeBSD's C shell is a TC shell (/bin/csh and /bin/tcsh are the same program). I've tried the example (on FreeBSD 7) from the web page you mentioned and found that set prompt = "%{\033[31m%}[%{\033[0m%}%B%n@%m:%~%b%{\033[31m%}]%{\033[0m%}%# " works as intended. %{\033[31m%} switches red color on, and %B/%b applies bold face for the text inside the brackets. In the section http://understudy.net/custom.html#table2 you'll find a reference for the other colors "programming codes". You could, for example, use a different color for root and nonroot shells, or change color depending on specific shell accounts on your system. You can also use other attributes like %S/%s for standout (here: inverse) mode, or %U/%u for underline mode. However, not every terminal (emulator) is capable of displaying them as intended, for example the text mode console cannot do unterlining, vt100 can do blinking _and_ underlining, but can't do colors, xterm can do underlining, but _not_ blinking, but can do colors... and so on. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
