     Try this:


	alias cd 'cd \!*; set prompt=$cwd> '

     The single quotes are important (so's $cwd doesn't get interpreted when
the alias is read, but when it's executed), and the \!* gets around John's
problem about always having to have an argument. Just for completeness, try
these aliases also:

	alias pushd 'pushd \!*; set prompt=$cwd> '
	alias popd 'popd; set prompt=$cwd> '
