I see, and I agree, partcularly when I have several SSH windows open and I
am going from machine to machine. I have to waste time figuring out whare
I am.

Also I think RaQ3s give the host name in the prompt, but RAQ4s don't. I
would like to fix that, easy I am sure, but maybe someone has a quick
answer.

Gerald,

You can make your prompt what ever you want it to be.
Just stick the code into the .bash_login or .profile
file in the respective home directory and set your prompt
to be as fancy as you like. Look at man bash to see
what you can do with your prompt variables. In the
man bash file look from the topic called PROMPTING
and also see the definition of the PS{1,4} variables.
