Good point...  Let's see:

MANPATH="/usr/man:/usr/local/man:/usr/autotool/devel/man:$MANPATH"
export MANPATH

case "$0" in
bash | -bash | */bash)
export HOSTNAME=`echo "$HOSTNAME" | /bin/tr 'A-Z' 'a-z'`
export PS1='\[\033]0;\w\007
\033[32m\]\u@${HOSTNAME} \[\033[33m\]\w\[\033[0m\]
$ '
;;
ksh | -ksh | */ksh)
typeset -l HOSTNAME
export PS1='^[]0;${PWD}^G
^[[32m${USER}@${HOSTNAME} ^[[33m${PWD}^[[0m
$ '
;;
sh | -sh | */sh)
export PS1='$ '
;;
esac

In the ksh section, the ^[ is the actual ESC character (Ctrl-V ESC in vi),
and, likewise, ^G is the actual BEL.  I've also made it ash-friendly (no
"export VAR=VAL", no alias commands)...  Looks like some files in
/etc/profile.d aren't as sh-friendly (try "exec -l /bin/sh -x" sometime).

Oh, and in my .bashrc:

# Don't wait for job termination notification
set -o notify
# Don't use ^D to exit
set -o ignoreeof

alias -- less='/bin/less -r'
alias -- ls='/bin/ls -F --color=tty'
alias -- rm='/bin/rm -i'
function settitle() { echo -n "^[]2;$@^G^[]1;$@^G"; }
alias -- whence='type -a'

Again, the ^[ and ^G in settitle() are the actual ESC and BEL characters.

That looks like it.  "The rest is personal, private, of no possible
int'rest" (Dr. "Stinky" Mahmoud).
Hope this helps,
	Igor
