I want my prompt like this: bash2.05b User rbram on host cml035835 in dir /cygdrive/c/ Mon Oct 17 12:52:59> Here is my attempt so far: PS1="\n\s\v \[\e[31m\]User \[\e[34m\]\u \[\e[31m\]on host \[\e[34m\]\h\[\e[31m\] in dir \[\e[34m\]\w\n\d \t> \e[30;47m " The issue is this: the I am getting black text on grey background - why is this? I thought "\e[30;47m " means black text on white background. That is what I understood from this page: http://www.pantz.org/scripting/shell/colorterm.shtml Kind regards, Rob :) ------- Robert Mark Bram Portal Analyst Programmer eTechnology, Coles Myer Limited [EMAIL PROTECTED] +61 3 9635 1036 -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
