Since folks have been talking about tcsh, I would like to know how I could
get the current directory to be 'echo'ed in my prompt. We have tcsh running
on a 9810x, just incase !!
thanks.

To get this, you need to change 'cd' (and popd and pushd) to reevaluate your $prompt variable everytime you move somewhere. Use this line to do that: alias cd 'chdir \!* ; set prompt = "\! $cwd -> " ; ls -FC' This one also does an ls after cd'ing there. Modify to suit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Steve DeJarnett | Smart Mailers -> steve@polyslo.CalPoly.EDU | | Computer Systems Lab | Dumb Mailers -> ..!ucbvax!voder!polyslo!steve | | Cal Poly State Univ. |------------------------------------------------| | San Luis Obispo, CA 93407 | BITNET = Because Idiots Type NETwork | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are running the tcsh from Ohio State, it's much easier than
that. Just set your prompt to include either %. (for the last part of
the CWD), or %/ (for all of the CWD). See the man page for details.
I welcome suggestions and (especially) code for improvements....

It also gives a directory listing whenever you change directories. "c" is used instead of "cd" to change directories. The directory is not shown in the prompt until the "c" command is executed. I execute "c" in my .login file. a u universe set prompt =\ "`u` (\!)--> " a c 'cd \!*; set prompt="`u` $cwd ( \! )--> " ; echo ; ls -F; echo ;' Hope this helps!!!!` Sandra
