Oops ... I'm sorry. I must have had my mind somewhere else.
Now I see what you mean. I don't think you can do that
directly, but you can do some magic by overloading the
"cd" builtin command by a shell function. Something like
this:
cd () { command cd "$1"; PS1="`pwd` > "; }
That should get you the idea. Note that both "cd" and
"pwd" are builtin commands, so there's not much of an
efficiency concern.
You can put the above line into your .profile script.
But then again, as I wrote in my previous mail, if you're
familiar with zsh, just use zsh. it has a _lot_ more
convenient features.
Regards
Oliver
