Yeah, there's a smiley. My PS2 prompt is ":D ". I work in terminal quite a lot, I like it, and don't want it to look boring, or like DOS.

For a default, a plain prompt is fine, everyone who wants change can find dozens of howtos about it anyway.

^thehatsrule^:  On the subject of double-click select, I have occasionally had the need to get the current directory as a selection, but not more than occasionally. There is no other info in my prompt.  I had at one time used \$PWD instead of \w in order to replace the tilde with /home/dsl. I have no idea if there is any difference in resource use between the two, but for some reason I went back to \w

The first thing I tried was a program called bashprompt, before I had any idea how to modify variables (or which variables did what).  That turned out to be a huge pain in the butt, and was eventually very happy to discover how easy it is to work with bash config files.
