FWIW,

I use now the following


export PS1='\[\e[32m\]G$SHORT_VER\[\e[0m\] [ \[\e[33m\]${GLOCATION}\[\e[0m\] 
@\[\e[32;1m\]${GMAPSET}\[\e[0m\] ] : \[\e[36m\]\w \[\e[0m\] 
\[\e[32;1m\]>\[\e[0m\] '

Apart from the colors (with which I was exeprimenting) I think it's much 
cleaner now -- info as a "top" line and the ">" right below in a new line.  It 
looks like:


,--%<---
G70 [ utm_37s @change_detection ] : .../grassdb/onsight  
>
`--->%--

This eats-up one line.  But, 1) it gives all the space for longer commands and 
2) it works as a useful "separator" (especially if it is colorised) and makes 
searching "back in time" easier.

hmm, doesn't work so well.

this sets the border color in xterm:

echo -e "\e]11;#aa186f\007"
CLEAR='\e[2J\e[1;1H'
echo -ne "\e[37m\e[40m$CLEAR"
unset CLEAR

..for the internalBorder Xresource (xterm -b), but as soon as something wraps 
around column 80 it stops being the border color and becomes the background 
color.

it would be nice to figure a way to get the border color working properly 
though since it seems like a nice way to do it.

echo -e "\e]11;#aa186f\007"

see $GISBASE/etc/grass-run.sh


re. using terminal colors, a web-search finds a number of pages like this:
http://superuser.com/questions/270214/how-can-i-change-the-colors-of-my-xterm-using-ansi-escape-sequences
# putting that into practice:
CLEAR='\e[2J\e[1;1H'
FG_CYAN='\e[36m'
BG_BLUE='\e[44m'

echo -en "${FG_CYAN}${BG_BLUE}$CLEAR"


# example of adding an RGB border color with a #RRGGBB code:
echo -ne "\033]11;#53186f\007"

for me, xfce4-terminal and rxvt accepted the old EGA colors for fore/background,
but not the full RGB border -- I had to use xterm to see that work. 

But I think changing the border with a RGB color per mapset or location would
scale better if you were having a different color for each mapset/location. 
Or, for the "MASK present" I'd prefer a red terminal border to the extra line
on the command prompt, so it might be nice to search out what the different
escape codes for gnome-terminal et al. might be.

or stuff can go in the terminals title-bar -- this, I guess, works easily with 
a few terminals 
like xterm.

I'd suggest to put the change in ~/.grass.bashrc instead.


fwiw here's what I have there wrt the prompt:

SHORT_VER=`echo "$GRASS_VERSION" | cut -f1,2 -d. | sed -e 's/\.//'`
export PS1='G$SHORT_VER:\W > '
export HISTSIZE=3000

.or.

export PS1='G$SHORT_VER:\w > '
export PROMPT_DIRTRIM=2

as full dir path gets much too long, especially on WinGrass where the
terminal width is a pain to resize.


For simplicity one of my favourites is still just:

export PS1='GRASS$SHORT_VER> '


If you do most of your work with a small set of locations, it might
also be an idea to figure something out with Xresources to color the
terminal background based on which one you're running in.
