"Set prompt"
Hi
Currently amending my bash profiles, there is a command that makes my session jump into another location. I just wonder if I could pre-define my prompt to begin with "cd " from this location (in order to navigate further into sub-directories). Is there any way of doing that? An important thing is that I just want this setting for the next prompt only, not afterwards.
Cheers

Hi,
Please clarify what is the difference between "env" and "set" command.
I guess set will display the system variables and user defined variables.
Thanks

xhpprompt
XHPPrompt(3X) XHPPrompt(3X)
NAME
XHPPrompt - Send a prompt to an extended input device.
SYNOPSIS
#include <X11/XHPlib.h>
int XHPPrompt (display, deviceid, prompt)
Display *display;
XID deviceid;
unsigned int prompt;
ARGUMENTS
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
deviceid Specifies the ID of the desired device.
Prompt Specifies the Prompt to be sent. Valid values are: GENERAL_PROMPT, PROMPT_1, PROMPT_2, PROMPT_3, PROMPT_4, PROMPT_5, PROMPT_6,
PROMPT_7.
DESCRIPTION
This request is part of an HP-proprietary extension to X. Its functionality has been superseded by the standard X input device extension
XChangeFeedbackControl request. You should use XChangeFeedbackControl instead of XHPPrompt if possible.
This request sends a prompt to an input device.
A prompt is an audio or visual indication that the program controlling the input device is ready for input. The program may indicate that
status by turning on a prompt on the appropriate input device.
Not all input devices support prompts and acknowledges. Any device that does support a particular prompt will also support the
corresponding acknowledge.
To determine whether an input device supports a particular prompt and acknowledge, the io_byte field of the XHPDeviceList structure should
be examined. The format of this structure is described in the documentation for the XHPListInputDevices request.
RETURN VALUE
none
DIAGNOSTICS
BadDevice An invalid device ID was specified.
BadValue An invalid prompt was specified.
