Question "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
