Karsten & Matthew,

Thanks, you have cleared up the mysteries for me. Well, 
almost.....

.... soooo, if Debian is looking for a bashrc or profile file, it 
won't mind if it has a dot in front or not, right? :>

I printed out the BashPrompt-HOWTO and can play with the prompt at 
the prompt.

Joe should colorise, the local university have it running on Free-
BSD in glorious yellow text on red, but can find nothing in the 
docs or config file.

Really shouldn't Debian install with an option for color?

I'll sort out the colours and come back with next problem.

Alles van die beste
Ian
