Under the C shell, one can set the prompt to the current working directory by using the following alias: alias cd 'cd \!* ; set prompt = "$CWD: "'. How can this be done under ksh? I tried alias cd='cd $1; PS1="$PWD: " and it did not work. Thanks for any help in advance. liu at alpha.ece.jhu.edu liu at jhunix.UUCP
