Re: CWD in my prompt



I've got the following on my .cshrc:

if ($?prompt) then
    alias setprompt 'set prompt = "`whoami`_(_at_)_`hostname -s`:`pwd`% "'
    setprompt
    alias cd 'cd \!*;setprompt;'
    alias pushd 'pushd \!*;setprompt'
    alias popd 'popd \!*;setprompt'
endif

You might substitute the "`whoami`_(_at_)_`hostname -s`:`pwd`% " to "`whoami`_(_at_)_`hostname -s` `pwd`> "'

Subject: CWD in my prompt


I have tried to put CWD into the my prompt but the CWD isnt changed when I change DIR This is the command line I used to set my prompt.

set prompt="$user_(_at_)_$HOST $cwd >

I cant spell or explain very good in english so here comes one more try for those who didnt understand the one above. I have set my prompt to for example...

root_(_at_)_mudserver /root >

I set this by useing this command with command line parameters...

set prompt="$user_(_at_)_$HOST $cwd >

The problem is that when  I change from /root to / the last section in my prompt isnt updated so it stays /root instead of beeing / How can I fix this? I really want it to update properly. I use tcsh shell if that helps...
