Here's my setup (what a variety of solutions there are:)


In my .alias file I have the following:

	alias cd 'cd \!*;set prompt = "$cwd> "'

In my .login file I have to source the aliases:

	source $HOME/.alias


And, in my .cshrc file I have this:

	set prompt = "$cwd > "

I don't care to have the hostmane shown, though some people may.


BTW, I think this thread should be in c.s.n.sysadmin
