I'm having trouble customizing the shell prompt for csh. I'd like to have: pwd % (ex. /home/david % or /usr/bin % ...) In my .cshrc I have: set prompt="`pwd` % " Which works fine upon start-up (/home/david % ) but doesn't change as I make my way through various directories. Look... /home/david % pwd /home/david /home/david % cd /usr/ports/distfiles/ /home/david % pwd <---- Not right! /usr/ports/distfiles /home/david % <---- Not right! What did I do wrong? -- David Kanter djkanter@northwestern.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
