Setting the current path in the command prompt in (t)csh

csh does not deal with prompts in the same way as a bourne based shell.

There are two way to set this in a csh/tcsh shell.

in csh you would have to do something like this in your .cshrc
Code:
alias precommand 'set prompt="${cwd} >"'
precommand           # to set the initial prompt
alias cd 'chdir \!* && precommand'
gives the following prompt:
Code:
/var/tmp/templog >
In tcsh you could do the same or add %/ to the prompt options, for example:
Code:
set prompt="%m{%n} %/ >"
displays as:
Code:
myhost{reborg} /var/tmp/templog >
