I use zsh, but the following can be modified to fit your needs:
if [[ xterm = $TERM || vt102 = $TERM ]]
then export PROMPT="%{^[[1m%}BRN <%h> %{^[[0m%}"
else export PROMPT="BRN <%h> "
fi
The first prompt lines sets the simple prompt in bold and the ^[ is the real
control character, not the ^ and [ characters. The second prompt line is
when it isn't an xterm or vt100 window (can't set the text in bold).
Because I still want to see the current path location, I send it to the
title bar:
if [[ xterm == $TERM || vt102 == $TERM ]]
then chpwd() echo -n "^[]2;${PWD}^G"
fi
if [[ xterm == $TERM || vt102 == $TERM ]]
then chpwd
fi
Again, the ^[ and ^G are real control characters. These lines go into the
.zshrc file.
The above method for setting the title bar isn't perfect, as it is easy
to change into a directory that ultimately doesn't call chpwd. When that
happens, just do a "cd ." and that will update the path.
Adjust to your taste and shell.
