PS1 is the default Bash shell prompt string variable. It is rich with escape code support for nifty stuff like timestamps, and can contain color escape codes.

PS2 3 and 4 are sub-prompts, when for example you enter a multi-line command.

IF you have the Bash docs, see bash and do a / stringsearch for PS1 for more. "man" Bash
Also see "man" console_codes for console codes, and "man" binedit for how to edit e.g. /configuration/profile as binary.
