In search of a decent prompt

[Michael Lodman]

On this subject, the following is a prompt I developed for my system
based on one somebody else did under DOS.

Place the following lines in your .cshrc, replacing # with ^[.

#begin
set sysname=`uname -n`
set day=`date '+%a %h %d , 19%y'`
alias cd 'cd \!* ; set prompt="#7#[0m#[3m#[2;15;4m#[H#[K#[12m]#[10m#[12C$day#[10C${sysname}:`pwd`#[1;80H#[12m]#[10m#8#[2;15;1m\\!>#[0m#[2;15;1m#[1C"'
cd .
#end

To get a ^[ into a file, type the following:
% echo "<esc>" >> Filename

The colors may be modified based on the documentation for screen
in the Xenix manuals.


If you need help, email me or call at the below number.
