Another way to change the prompt without going into system
configuration & restart is to set the variable HPPROMPT.  This is
best done with a logon UDC.  What we have done is to include the
following line in our system logon UDC:

setvar hpprompt "!'enh_hb'UniSuper:!!hpcwd:!'enh_off' "

enh_hb is a variable containing an escape sequence for half-bright
display and enh_off turns off display enhancements.

This is placed very early in the file so that the prompt is changed
quickly.
