Steven,  thanks for your help with this, and most recently your message 
of yesterday at 3:45.

At present, on this 'ASUS' computer under BL3 with  sh  , I split what I 
wanted done into two files. One of them,  /usr/local/bin/nfs , mounts or 
unmounts the networked computer 'FIC'.  The other file is 
/usr/local/bin/chprompt  to change the command line prompt depending on 
whether or not  FIC is mounted here.

I think the reason I wanted a different prompt last fall under BL2.1 is 
that there were warnings or something when I tried to  shutdown -r now   
or similar, while FIC was still mounted to an ASUS mount point?

So as of now, I added these lines to /etc/profile

-------------
alias on='nfs;    . /usr/local/bin/chprompt'
alias off='nfs k; . /usr/local/bin/chprompt'
-------------

And here are the two files:

-------------
#### this is /usr/local/bin/nfs
#!/bin/sh
case $1 in
  k)
    umount /hd/fic
    echo "FIC was unmounted"
  ;;
  "")   
    echo "FIC was mounted"
    mount -t nfs  192.168.1.1:/ /hd/fic
esac
-------------

## /usr/local/bin/chprompt   , to be used as  . chprompt
#!/bin/sh
if [ -z  `pidof rpciod` ]
then
  PS1="\w> "
else
  PS1="FICon\w> "
fi
export PS1
