I have taken my prompt to an even SILLIER extreme (but I like it.) Here's
an extract from my .cshrc:
alias cd "cd \!*; prompt"
alias chdir "cd \!*"
alias popd "popd \!*; prompt"
set effuser=`whoami`
set host=`hostname`
set tty=`tty`
if ($effuser == "root") then
set hash="#"
else
set hash="%"
set path=($path .)
endif
alias prompt 'set prompt="--> $cwd <--\\
\\!: ${effuser}@${host}($tty:t)${hash} "'
This is what is looks like right now:
--> /enterprise/transporter/dfs <--
