KSHPR: prompt generator for .kshrc

[Chris Siebenmann]

 Here's the relevant bits from my .kshrc, which result in a prompt of
the form
	<user>:<terminal> <command #> <'>' or '#' if I'm root>
(eg "cks:w1 71 > " or "root:w1 1 # ")

	uid=`id | sed 's/uid=[0-9]*(//
		       s/).*//'`
	ttyp=`tty | sed 's;/dev/;;'`
	case $uid in
		root) prompter="#";;
		*) prompter=">";;
	esac
	PS1="$uid:$ttyp ! $prompter "

 Ah, the things one can do in ksh. Anyone want an emulation of the BSD
csh pushd/popd commands?
