Hi.
I find this to be very useful in tcsh with regard to the prompt:
Quote:
%c[[0]n], %.[[0]n]
The trailing component of the current working directory, or
n trailing components if a digit n is given. If n begins
with `0', the number of skipped components precede the
trailing component(s) in the format `/<skipped>trailing'.
If the ellipsis shell variable is set, skipped components
are represented by an ellipsis so the whole becomes
`...trailing'. `~' substitution is done as in `%~' above,
but the `~' component is ignored when counting trailing
components.
