I want to have the current directory name in my prompt (using csh)
so I set the prompt using $cwd:t
BUT...

When I'm in the root directory, /, I want / to appear in the prompt.
Using $cwd:t gives me nothing in the directory part of the prompt.
Also, it would be nice if the top directories (ie /etc /tmp ...)
appeared with the leading slash while other directories appear only
with the tail part.
Any ideas ? (I'm not bothered how you can do it in other shells -
I want to know about csh !)
