Years ago in DOS I went through a fancy prompt phase. It got really bad :-) For example, one prompt put a blue stripe permanently along the top of the screen that showed current directory, time, and whatever other junk would fit, with a simple gold prompt mark in the main scrolling part. Now in my second newbiehood I'm wondering, can I do that sort of stuff with FreeBSD? I can't find any clues in the sh or bash man pages (only basic useful stuff, nothing senseless, fun, or psychadelic) so maybe there's something else to learn? -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
