Subject:        	How to set the prompt?

I would recommend getting a copy of the Bash manual and reading
about "Prompting".  The shell variable which controls the initial
interactive session prompt is 'PS1'.  For other interactive states
there are 3 others, PS2, PS3 and PS4.  The manual tells you what
special values you may use for them.

There are many other good reasons to read the Bash manual, too.

Regards,
Doug
