I am not sure what your platform is, but I have been doing this in UNIX for years. I create a shells cript called plus, that does the following:
echo "set sqlp '$ORACLE_SID:SQL> '" > $HOME/p.sql $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus @$HOME/p
This will set the SQL prompt for the prd database (for example) to the text prd:SQL> .
