Nice that this also works Xless / on the console :) Although I am not too much into working from "behind proxies", I had a closer look at the PS1 strings Didier posted in this thread on Friday. I could find the backslash escaped special /characters/ documented in the bash(1) manpage. A web search for the text formatting (colors and style) of course returned a lot of results, including several "PS1 generators", some "Extreme Power Prompt" examples [1] and this extensive "Bash Prompt HOWTO" [2] at TLDP. But where would I have to look "on board" for a documentation of these powerful escape sequences? By the way, I just noticed that packages.debian.org has the doc-linux package listed no longer but in oldoldstable.
