15 years since last time I used tcsh... excuse my lack of memory....
and yes you are right its prompt in .cshrc and no PS1 (sh / ksh...), I will see if I can find in my old notes ( will be hard to find though... 15 years...) anything...
All the best
What are you trying to achieve for a prompt display?
I dont undestand the issue.. could you give a sample of what your prompt display, lest say when you are in your home directory, then go to /usr/local/bin and give us the new prompt and explain what you want, thanks

So, I was wondering if there is maybe a... (1 Reply)

which(1) User Commands which(1)
NAME
which - locate a command; display its pathname or alias
SYNOPSIS
which [filename...]
DESCRIPTION
which takes a list of names and looks for the files which would be executed had these names been given as commands. Each argument is
expanded if it is aliased, and searched for along the user's path. Both aliases and path are taken from the user's .cshrc file.
FILES
~/.cshrc source of aliases and path values
/usr/bin/which
ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|Availability |SUNWcsu |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
SEE ALSO
csh(1), attributes(5)
DIAGNOSTICS
A diagnostic is given for names which are aliased to more than a single word, or if an executable file with the argument name was not found
in the path.
NOTES
which is not a shell built-in command; it is the UNIX command, /usr/bin/which
BUGS
Only aliases and paths from ~/.cshrc are used; importing from the current environment is not attempted. Must be executed by csh(1), since
only csh knows about aliases.
To compensate for ~/.cshrc files in which aliases depend upon the prompt variable being set, which sets this variable to NULL. If the
~/.cshrc produces output or prompts for input when prompt is set, which may produce some strange results.
