What else can we tell you? You've been explained how to learn about it,
and you haven't. What can we do?

If you don't know how to look for a string in a text by reading that
text, you could try to use a computer command:
man bash | grep -C 3 PS1
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?
