[Second Assignment] (10 pts.)

Change your CUNIX shell prompt to be a prompt of your choice. Make this
change "permanent" for each new login session.

Submit a text file:
 
 1) explaining how you did this
 2) showing your prompt in action

Please post this file using Courseworks to the 'Assignment_2' folder by 
next Tuesday (the 7th). It is worth 10 points of class participation.

An example of "your prompt in action" follows:
