It's great that there's an example included, but the problem with this
example is that if you follow the book to the letter (as you probably
would if this was your first cut at BLFS) then you'll think something
is broken in your prompt. So, it might be more useful if you had
something like
case $TERM in
xterm*)
PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;[EMAIL PROTECTED] : ${PWD}\007"'
*)
PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "[$(date +%r)]"'
esac
export PROMPT_COMMAND
This really shows how PROMPT_COMMAND can add to PS1 and should work
straight from the book.
