hmmm, those confuse my cursor, especially in history. Up-arrow is
really a crap shoot.
I use this, cobbled up from an old, (really old) Gentoo I believe.
PS1='\[\e[1;32m\]\u [ \[\e[00m\]\w \[\e[1;32m\]]\$ \[\e[00m\]'
I don't know why the escaped bracing helps.
Also the'\e[00m' restores default rather than the \e[0;39m you have used.
'1;' I use for bright colors.
whatever
