 #
 # Coloured prompts for bash.
 #
 # Prompt is user@host:/dir$ where host is highlighted in green if the last 
 # command exited 0 or in red (followed by the error code) otherwise.
 #
+# Colouring is performed by the __ps1_col() and __ps1_ret() functions.
+# We redirect stderr to /dev/null when calling these functions to prevent 
+# bash complaining about not knowing them when you su to another user, 
+# retaining PS1 but not the function definitions.
+#
 # Override the PROMPT_OK_COLOUR and PROMPT_FAILED_COLOUR environment variables 
 # to set different colours.
 #
-# To use, add a call to __ps1 in your .bash_profile.
+# To use, add a call to __ps1 in your .bash_profile file.
