 	It's not "my prompt".  I'm just a leading evangelist! ;-)

 	I saw it a long time ago in a very old issue of ;login:, IIRC. 
I've tried finding its source but have not had any luck.  I did see the guy 
who does tutorials on Asterisk at USENIX conferences uses the same prompt 
structure, but he only knew about it from his boss.

 	For those not in the know, please see the July 24, 2000 talk, "Stupid 
Unix Tricks" that Brian Mayes and Myself gave.  If anyone uses tcl/tk or 
expect/expectk, drop me a note and I'll send you improved equivalents for 
the null prompt.

 	Adrian
