FWIW this is what I use in my .bashrc. The contol codes are for an ANSI
terminal, the shell doesn't care what to use. The \[ and \] are bash
specific, you'll want to remove them for csh.
BLACK=\[\e[0;30m\]
BLUE=\[\e[0;34m\]
GREEN=\[\e[0;32m\]
CYAN=\[\e[0;36m\]
RED=\[\e[0;31m\]
PURPLE=\[\e[0;35m\]
BROWN=\[\e[0;33m\]
LIGHT_GRAY=\[\e[0;37m\]
DARK_GRAY=\[\e[1;30m\]
LIGHT_BLUE=\[\e[1;34m\]
LIGHT_GREEN=\[\e[1;32m\]
LIGHT_CYAN=\[\e[1;36m\]
LIGHT_RED=\[\e[1;31m\]
LIGHT_PURPLE=\[\e[1;35m\]
YELLOW=\[\e[1;33m\]
WHITE=\[\e[1;37m\]
NO_COLOR=\[\e[0m\]

Hi,
I would like to colorize this prompt:
set prompt=@%m:%~#
How do I have to modify the prompt so that the entire prompt is of red
color.
Only the prompt should be red, not what is typed or the results of any
output.
many thanks
Does csh understand ansi escape sequences? If so you could try this:
$ set prompt=\[\e[1;[EMAIL PROTECTED]:%~# \[\e[m\]
I don't know if this will work in csh, but it definitely works in bash.
For bash it would be:
$ export PS1=\[\e[1;[EMAIL PROTECTED]:%~# \[\e[m\]
