If you can cope with a somewhat wierd syntax, you could do it this way:

[/usr/dan] $c bin $d
[/usr/dan/bin]

The c and d are environment variables that are set up this way:

c='eval cd'
d='; PS1="[`pwd`] "'
export c d PS1

You can stick this in your .profile or in a file you . from within .profile.
