Hello, I've been using the screen program a lot in the last few days. Combined with virtual consoles, it gives trememdous multitasking capabilities. My .bashrc contais the line: export PS1='\\$${WINDOW}>' How can this line be modified to show the number of the virtual console as well as the number of the screen window? I would like it to have a dollar sign, virtual console number, colon, screen window number, greater than. I don't need to have it show the directory. Thanks.
