I would like to change the name that is showing up before the : in my shell prompt. It appears whenever I open terminal and I'm working on my local machine.

Welcome to Darwin!
IWANTTOCHANGETHIS:~ loginname$

If someone could let me know how to do this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
 
I checked it out and I have Power Mac as my computer name but that's not what's showing up in my shell prompt. Any other ideas? :)
