There's a bash-prompt HOWTO that describes how to do this. I customised
it and put the file "proml" in my home directory, made it executable
and sourced it in .bashrc or /etc/profile (can't remember exactly).
$ cat proml
function proml
{
local BLACK="\[\033[0;30m\]"
local DARK_GRAY="\[\033[1;30m\]"
local LIGHT_GRAY="\[\033[0;37m\]"
local GRAY="\[\033[1;30m\]"
local WHITE="\[\033[1;37m\]"
local GREEN="\[\033[0;32m\]"
local LIGHT_GREEN="\[\033[1;32m\]"
local BLUE="\[\033[01;34m\]"
case $TERM in
xterm*)
local TITLEBAR='\[\033]0;[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\w\007\]'
;;
*)
local TITLEBAR=''
;;
esac
PS1="${TITLEBAR}\
$LIGHT_GREEN[\
\$(date +%H:%M) \
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: \w]\
$BLUE\n\$ \[\033[00m\]"
PS2='> '
PS4='+ '
}
