Screen color question

Wed Mar 6 13:56:00 GMT 2002

I should have thought of that, but having done it, it doesn't stick -- the
next prompt restores the dim light-green-on-black.
So I think it's my prompt that is 'insisting' on the dimness. 
The prompt strings are
PS1=$'\\[\033円]0;\\w\007円\n\033円[32m\\]\\u@\\h \\[\033円[33m\\w\033円[0m\\]\n$ '
PS2='> '
PS4='+ '
I'm not sure where to re-set these or what they should be -- I'll go and
read the man bash pages. All I want is the current directory followed by
the usual '>'.
