Somehow, I don't know how I managed to reset my bash user prompt. Rather

 I have found plenty of Google results about correcting thei promled,
and, indeed export PS1='\u@\h > ' restores the prompt - that is, until I
close that terminal.  The next time I open a terminal the prompt is back
to (p4env).
For my sanity, I can]t seem to figure out where and how to make the
change permanent.
As I said, I'm very embarrassed about this and really need help.
Thanks in advance,

Stephen, you can make this change permanent by appending this line to your ~/.bashrc :

export PS1='\u@\h > '

Kind regards,
