Hi
Grass 6.0 is multisession and now it’s possible to open more locations but all windows and the prompt have the same name and it’s difficult to navigate between the windows.

It's important to see what is the location in Grass 6.
in daily work it's very useful because with Grass 6 is more easy to work with 2, 3 or more locations together and the shell has always the same name: this was not a problem in Grass 5.x with 1 location any time.

Not too much. Example:
GRASS 6.0.cvs - spearfish57 >

It's important to see what is the location in Grass 6.
in daily work it's very useful because with Grass 6 is more easy to
work with 2, 3 or more locations together and the shell has always
the same name: this was not a problem in Grass 5.x with 1 location
any time.
I see. What about this:
GRASS 6.0.cvs(brdUTM33):~ >

If you are going to do that, would it be more logical/possible to do
GRASS x.y.x(location:mapset):\W >
does this get updated when you use g.mapset to change
location/mapset/database? (like adding a MASK changes the prompt)
Personally I like simple & elegant:
GRASS 6:~ >
\W instead of \w uses just the top dir name, not the full path. You can
see where you are but with a much shorter prompt.
And so my ~/.grass.bashrc file includes the line
PS1="GRASS 6:\W > "
