Ok....I've tried everything.
I put this line into my .login file (and just about every imaginable c
combination)
echo '[1;24r[23;1H[7mYou are in ... '{pwd}'[0m'
^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^ ^^^
| (rev video,ok) |
| to print working directory
to print on status line (doesn't work right)
(doesn't work right)
perhaps it's something to do with the vt100 configuration, BUT, the termcap
lists a vt100-s-bot configuration which I have set. (for bottom status line)
when I have that set, then a program like sysline WORKS.
The result of the above mess is I get this message right before my regular
prompt appears "You are in ... pwd"
I also tried this, to see if I could just keep my working directory as part
of the prompt itself.
set prompt = '[7m[1m'{pwd}'\![0m-=->'
the result (in rev video)
pwd1-=->
or
set prompt = '^[[7m^[[1m'${cwd}'\!^[[0m-=->'
which results in (in rev video)
d/dickson1-=->
Excellent! Just what I wanted, the only problem is, when I CHANGE directories,
the prompt stays the same. I want it to show the directory I'm in!
Please tell me you can help Mr. Wizard!
Thanks!
Pete
Oh, BTW this is in csh
