Hello
in trying to change my shell prompt, I created a file .emacs_bash
since my shell is bash
$which bash
/bin/bash
when I M-x shell
I still don't get the new prompt I specified in the file .emacs_bash
thanks for helping

And what do you put in ~/.emacs_bash?
For example, I've got this:
alias less=cat ; alias more=cat ; echo Hi! ; PS1='PROMT>'
and when I M-x shell, I get:
[pjb@thalassa pjb]$ Hi!
PROMT> echo 'Howdy?'
Howdy?
PROMT>

And you don't see something strange here?
Please read man bash and come back to us when you're done!
