Don't we all.
Well Pilgrim ( as the duke would say)
Its kind of hard to tell you how to change something with no idea
of what change your are after.
Here is a simple one for your .cshrc
alias cd 'cd \!* ;set prompt=`pwd`" {\!} "'
That will change your prompt to show process number each time you
do something. A simple press of the return key wont change it
this will make the path to your working directory be part of the
prompt.
You can take that to a silly extreme
alias cd 'cd \!* ;set prompt=`hostname`" "`whoami`" "`pwd`" {\!} "'
Post more information, and no doubt you'll get better answers.
Cheers
Ed
