But when you are given specific instructions like do a man bash and look for PS1 and it's quite clear you didn't bother to lift a finger in that regard, then you deserve what you call "harsh" treatment. BTW I call it the truth.
But since you couldn't type the man bash command, I don't expect you to be able to type the more complex man bash | grep -C 3 PS1 command. And since you've not been able to read the bash manual, how could I expect you to be able to read the extracts?Harsh, man just harsh; but I understand your point. You should point the OP to "Unix in a Nutshell" from publisher O'Reily.
