I have developed a method to put your pwd into your ps1.
The way I do it is to create a shell function in my .profile and then have
it run a program called chd .
place this in your .profile
chd() {
. chd
}
PS1="$LOGNAME:`pwd`> "
export PS1
this creates a function chd that will run a script called chd and affect
the current environment....
now create this shell script: and name it chd
cd $*
PS1="$LOGNAME:`pwd`> "
export PS1
remember to place it in a subdirectory that is in your $PATH var.
Also, make sure you have executable permissions chmod 700 chd :-)
HINT: If you have a nosey co-worker/friend use chd to display a path
and then use cd to go where you want... cd wont change your prompt.
ex:
chd project
don:/usr8/don/project> cd /usr/games
your prompt will show you that you are in subdir project but actually
be in the games directory!!
Also... chd with no args will take you to your HOME directory since it
calls cd...
Hope this helps...

Inserting the following three aliases will help achieve the same
effect. Note that this is only for csh.
This part of code was once posted by someone in comp.unix.questions.
Also, if you want full path to be displyed, then change {cwd:t} to {cwd}.
The "\\!%" at the end is used to indicate the history command number.
cwd= predefined shell variable which gets set to the Current Working
Directory.
------------------------------------------------------------
alias cd 'chdir \!* && set prompt="${cwd:t}_\\!% "'
alias pushd 'pushd \!* && set prompt="${cwd:t}_\\!% "'
alias popd 'popd \!* && set prompt="${cwd:t}_\\!% "'

Hope this helps.
Thanks.
