I like to set mine up so that I get a different prompt depending on
wether I'm using a xterm or not. If I'm using a xterm I put the path and
a few other things in the title bar and leave my prompt as clean as
possible. If I'm in a console, I put all that stuff at the prompt.
I don't have any code example right now, but I can post them later if
you are interested.
