prompts with csh

I have seen on some systems that when a prompt (csh -> prompt environment
variable) is set, you can not backspace beyond that prompt... is there
a way to do this with xenix?

i.e.

my prompt may read:

quame!/u/bryan>

and I do not want to backspace beyond the space before the >

If anyone has an answer --- please respond to:

bryan at quame.uu.net...

thanks
