The "Lost" prompt

Blogger David Winter has a posted a cute how-to showing you how to change the prompt in your terminal to the ">:" used in Lost.

Basically, you update your .zprofile or .bashrc or .kshrc to include the line export 1=">: ". Me? I'm a csh weenie. I'd have to use set prompt=">: " to get the same effect. (The same thing a lies for tcsh users.)

Winter also includes i tructio on how to get the green-on-black color settings used in the program.
