Hello Barry, Following your advice I get: dencar (~) $ at the prompt. The aterm titlebar reads: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ which is correct. Can you help further with the prompt to have it specify user dennis, please. TIA. BTW there is a script in ~/.bashrc to change the window title of X terminals, which I assume is producing the titlebar entry I mentioned.
