Sorry,
I did not mention that I'm using csh as default shell on centos 5.10
It's the default shell set by the sys admin
Accordingly the PS1 does not exist
I have already added these commands to my .cshrc

[singh@localhost awk_programming]$ PS1="TEST $"
TEST $man test
Similarly you can put any pwd according to your need in it. Also if you want to permanently fix prompt string you can add this command in the .profile of user.
Thanks,

What I need the command prompt to display the full path and $USER@HOST each in a separate line instead of both displayed in the same line so that I will have:
Code:
<The exact long path>
<my username> @ <hotsname> $
As you see, the path is not in the same line with the username and host.
