  No, 'restore' normal operation was meant to imply fixing it after it had
gone wrong, i.e. I was suggesting you try the 'stty sane' command /after/ 'man
bash' has chnanged the prompt colour.  However reading closer I see it only
affects the single line for the prompt.  Perhaps your PS1 setting has the
side-effect of restoring normal colouring at the end?  Do you mean that even
the lightened prompt reverts to duller colours, or just that subsequent
prompts do not show the same problem as the first?


    cheers,
