 +====== Fancy prompt cookbook ======

 +It is nice to make your bash prompt look good.  Here is a base script that defines all the ANSI colors as variables and sets up a clear PS1 prompt variable.  I usually save this as ".bashprompt" and source it from ".bashrc".

 +BOLD="\[\e[1m\]"

 +Also, if your environment isn't updating the tab titles in your graphical terminal, you can append the following line to fix that:
 +<code bash>
 +export PS1="\[\e]0;\u@\h:\w\a\]$PS1"
