Re: Options for csh shell
Hi,

I do not know how it works in c or bash shell. But in k shell you have can do the following

export BOLD=`echo \033[1`
export NORMAL=`echo \033[0`

similarly for underline, reverse text etc replace the number 1 with other values. before any text you type just add this shell variable and after this text add the $NORMAL.

e.g
PWD=`pwd`
PS1="$BOLD`hostname`$NORMAL :$PWD.

This gives you a prompt with the hostname in bold followed by the present working directory



Hope this helps you
