Default Use Validation to force specific entry of first 3 characters in st

What formula should I enter into Category "Custom" of Validatioan to force
user to begin character string with "PR-"? Desired result is "PR-001". I
don't want user to have option to enter "001" or "002", etc., without the
"PR-". Nor do I want them to be able to enter "DR-001".
