My normal prompt is;

david $

and my superuser prompt is;

#

How do I get the super-user prompt when I just use the "su" command
rather than the full "su -" command?

I want to stay in the same directory I am in sometimes but have su
authority. The problem is that my prompt doesn't change, so I forget
that I am su.
