Bash Prompt and Color

[Mark <met1204@charter.net>]

Hello,
I was recently playing around with my bash prompt and PS1 variable. I
changed my ~/.bashrc to:

if [ "$TERM" = "linux" ]
then
  #we're on the system console or maybe telnetting in
  export PS1="[\w]\n[\u@\H]\$ "
else
  #we're not on the console, assume an xterm
  export PS1='\e[31:m[\w] \@\n\e[34:m[\u@\H]\$\e[0m '
fi


Does anyone know why, when I have an xterm, the cursor stays red?  The
site that helped me customize it said that \e[0m would change it back
(at least thats how I understood it when I read it).

Thanks
Mark Thurman
