I have a question on setting the prompt in csh:

I am on a sparc station running sun4. Is there a way to
set the prompt variable that will cause the current working
directory to always be displayed? So that when I change
directories the prompt variable will get updated and be reflected
on my screen.

Response via e-mail is welcome.
