><P
>If you have a specific prompt to go with a particular project, or some
reason to load different prompts at different times, you can use multiple
bashrc files instead of always using your <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>~/.bashrc</TT
>
file. The Bash command is something like <TT
CLASS="USERINPUT"
><B
>bash --rcfile
/home/giles/.bashprompt/bashrc/bashrcdan</B
></TT
>, which will start a
new version of Bash in your current terminal. To use this in combination
with a Window Manager menuing system, use a command like <TT
CLASS="USERINPUT"
><B
>rxvt -e
bash --rcfile /home/giles/.bashprompt/bashrc/bashrcdan</B
></TT
>. The
exact command you use will be dependent on the syntax of your X term of
choice and the location of the bashrc file you're using.&#13;</P
