I want to make my bash prompt blue.

According to the LDP, IIUIC, it should look like this:

PS1="\[\0[0;[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\w>$[\0[0m\]"

source:

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO.html#AEN167

but I get an error saying:

bash: /home/joehill/.bashrc: line 39: unexpected EOF while looking for
matching `"' bash: /home/joehill/.bashrc: line 40: syntax error:
unexpected end of file

they only show one set of matching quotes, so is the LDP off on this?

It'd be noice if I could see where my last prompt was in the sea of
output, ya get me?

Thanks!
