Hi.

Look for PS1 in the man page for the shell you are using (i.e. bash, ksh, etc.)

Example in Bash:
Code:
bash-3.2$[/COLOR] PS1='some long-winded command prompt string..... '
some long-winded command prompt string..... echo Hello
Hello
some long-winded command prompt string..... PS1='\W $ '
~ $ cd scripts
scripts $ cd tmp
tmp $

Here's one link I found... How to Customize your Terminal Prompt - OS X Daily
