^ should work.

As for your second question, look at the file /etc/profile.d/prompt.sh and google bash PS1.

For those searching for "N900 $PATH", I add: After much reading and some courage I added "/home/user/bin" using the above. (((There was no /home/user/.profile so I created it with text: "PATH = $PATH:/user/home/bin"))). It works. I can now safely run some little shell scripts (stored in /home/user/bin which I created for this purpose) as user. Thanks querty12.
