I never used this but I can say you that you are using 'text strings' in that variable .. Everything you put enclosed in ' and " is a 'text string' in c, perl, php, bash and others. PS1=$'\E[31m'$USER@$'\E[1;33m'`hostname -s`:$'\E[0m>' The result looks like this PS1=$'\E[31m'$USER@$'\E[1;33m'`hostname -s`:$'\E[0m>' $ \E[31m leva@$ \E[1;33m leva :$ \E[0m> Do you see? Try to eliminate ' and try .. Maybe it works. -- Leinier C. Salfran <salfrancl@ipigto.rimed.cu> IPI "Jose Maceo Grajales"
