Hello.

I am trying to figure out why my old .bashrc's current location doesn't 
show correctly when in /home directory with:

PS1="\u@\h \[\e[33m\]\W\[\e[0m\] \[\`if [[ \$? = "0" ]]; then echo 
'\e[32m=)\e[0m'; else echo '\e[31m=(\e[0m' ; fi\`\] \$ "
alias grep='grep --color'

When I try it out in /home, I see "hmee":
foo@box ~ =) $ cd ..
foo@box hmee =) $ cd /home
foo@box =) $

Why is that? It worked on my 2004's updated Debian box and remote Linux 
boxes (Fedora and Debian). I am using Bash v4.1-3 from 64-bit Debian's 
stable installation with the latest updates including its backports.

Thank you in advance. :)
