My understanding of the codes and sequences are not questionable.
Below is a sample of my prompt:
PS1="\[\033[36;01m\]\332\304\[\033[33;01m\][\[\033[36;01m\]\304\
\[\033[33;01m\](\[\033[36;01m\]\u\[\033[33;01m\]@\[\033[36;01m\]\h\
\[\033[33;01m\])\[\033[36;01m\]-\[\033[33;01m\](\
\[\033[36;01m\]\$(date '+%r %Z')\
\[\033[33;01m\]-:-\[\033[33;01m\033[36;01m\]$(date '+%A, %B
%d, %Y')\
\[\033[33;01m\])\[\033[36;01m\]\304\[\033[33;01m]\[\033[36;01m\]\\$\
\[\033[33;01m\]\n\[\033[36;01m\]\300\304\[\033[33;01m\](\
\[\033[36;01m\]\w\[\033[33;01m\])\
\[\033[36;01m\] >> \[\033[00m\]"
What I've tried to achieve is best viewed after activating the codes.
The problem displayed itself through the use of other terminals:
either a remote login to the server through a telnet terminal or
NXTerm (color terminal in X windows).
