PS1="\[\033[34m\][\$(date +%H%M)[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\w]$ "
this gives me a lighter blue prompt :
PS1="\[\033[36m\][\$(date +%H%M)[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\w]$ "

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!
