Sorry about that.
I could get the prompt to work if I drag and dropped the text into the terminal window. I created a .cschrc file in my home directory with your prompt. I got the same error message as a previous post. (Unmatched ". ) I wanted to color my prompt, so I would know if there was no color, then I am root.
Also, I got the color terminal to work, but I want to alter the colors. Do you know how?

For the normal user, the file you want to put the command in lives in your Users directory, in /Library/init/tcsh/rc.mine. You can create the init and tcsh directories if you need to.

Make sure you're entering the above prompt as one line, not two, in the rc.mine file. I just compared what's listed here to my rc.mine file, and the lines are identical - except I've broken this one up to display on two lines.
